Provides continued study of surgical team participation by wound management and co-related skills for the operating room. Topics include: patient care concepts; preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative skills; perioperative case management; and principles of minimally invasive surgical techniques. (There are surgical procedures that are similar as far as procedural steps, instrumentation, supplies, patient position, etc. This is referred to as the ''Co-Related Procedures Concept.'' The purpose of using the Co-Related Procedures Concept is to provide the instructor additional time to teach surgical procedures as well as avoid repetition.)
