PY - 2022 T2 - Zollinger’s Atlas of Surgical Operations, 11e AB - Anesthesia is necessary for the safe practice of surgery. Modern anesthesia allows a surgeon to operate while keeping the patient comfortable and safe. While anesthesia as a practice had in the past been a source of significant morbidity and mortality during surgical procedures, advances in medications, monitoring, and techniques have made it one of the safest medical practices. This has allowed many patients, once thought to be too ill for surgery, to have the opportunity for safe operative care. Because of the strong interdependence between surgery and anesthesiology, a surgeon must have at least a basic knowledge of the principles and practice of anesthesia.
