Many people may think that the importance of surgery begins with the surgeon\u2019s hands or the techniques used during the operation. But in reality\u2026every successful surgery begins before the scalpel is ever picked up.<\/p>\n
What you see may appear ordinary\u2014hand washing , putting on sterile gowns, checking instruments on the surgical table \u2014but for me, this is one of the moments that requires the greatest focus and intention.<\/p>\n
Before every surgery, especially long procedures lasting 6\u20138 hours ,it is not only the surgeon\u2019s physical readiness that matters. We must also ensure the readiness of the team and every single piece of equipment.<\/p>\n
The operating lights must be positioned to avoid shadows Surgical cameras must be clear, with no glare The operating table must support proper posture for both surgeon and assistants. Key instruments must be placed where they can be reached without even looking.<\/p>\n
Including small details that are often overlooked\u2014such as absorbent pads, surgical glue , or specialized sutures. Because even the slightest interruption can immediately affect the flow of the procedure and ultimately, the patient\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\n
I often remind my team: \u201cThe best surgery is one where everyone is fully prepared.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n No matter how much experience we have, if the body is not ready, the mind is not calm, or the equipment is incomplete, small mistakes can easily occur.<\/p>\n For me,the happiness of being a surgeonis not only found in seeing the postoperative results. It begins in those quiet moments before we start\u2014 when we double-check everything, exchange a reassuring look with the team, and set the intention in our hearts: \u201cThis case will be the very best we can possibly deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n Under the surgical lights\u2026surgery never truly begins when the hand holds the scalpel. It begins with a ready heart and attention to the small details we never overlook<\/p>\n With love \u2764\ufe0f Dr. Jay Crafting Confidence with Care<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many people may think that the importance of surgery begins with the surgeon\u2019s hands or the techniques used during the operation.
