4Preface to the Fourth Edition
It is my pleasure to present the fourth edition to my dear students. I will always be grateful for the overwhelming response to the book.
In the current modern trend, I have a feeling that importance of instruments as a source of knowledge and inspiration and their due importance during valuation of the students is decreasing. It is for all the surgery teachers to ponder over this.
Instruments are basic things in the training of the clinician and everybody must know how to use them, where to use them and where not to use them.
In my first edition itself I quoted Prof. Ian Aird, one of the greatest teachers of surgery who has said that “diagrams do not bleed”. Similarly instruments do not speak. This is a sincere effort to make them speak. If this dialogue results in better understanding and inspiration for search of newer and better instruments, I shall feel gratified.
This work is neither a catalogue nor a textbook on instruments.
It is humanly impossible to acknowledge the references and sources in this type of work. Humbly and honestly all the words of knowledge and wisdom belong to others and mistakes are mine and mine alone.
Uptil now it was published by me in the name of Aman Publications Pvt. Ltd., Nagpur. It was a great privilege and honor to join Jaypee Brothers family and I am grateful to Shri Jitendar P Vij (Chairman and Managing Director) and Mr Tarun Duneja (Director-Publishing), M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd., New Delhi.

One of the greatest teachers of surgery Late Prof. IAN AIRD has very aptly said that diagrams do not bleed. Similarly instruments do not speak. This is a sincere effort to make them speak. If this dialogue results in better understanding and inspiration for search of newer and better instrument, I shall feel gratified.
This work is neither a catalogue nor a textbook on instruments.
It is humanly impossible to acknowledge the references and sources in this type of work. Humbly and honestly all the words of knowledge and wisdom belong to others and mistakes are mine and mine alone.
