SECTION 1
General Principles
Pierre-Alain Clavien
Michael G. Sarr

Introduction
Pierre A. Clavien, Michael G. Sarr
A competent surgeon must be aware of all the general aspects of a surgical procedure to be able to perform specific interventions successfully and expeditiously. The old adage that “exposure, exposure, and exposure” are the three most important factors for the good outcome of a surgical procedure remains true for both open and laparoscopic approaches.
Each procedure must start with careful positioning of the patient prior to wide disinfection of the operative field, draping, and incision. The first chapter covers the various options for positioning of the patient on the operating table and describes the incisions that are available to enter the abdominal cavity. The second chapter focuses on different principles of exposure through the use of various types of retractors, providing examples of the most commonly used retractors. The third chapter addresses the use of mechanical staplers. Currently, staplers are increasingly being used for many open and laparoscopic procedures, and the industry has partnered actively with the surgical field in developing new devices enabling sophisticated maneuvers, often to reach otherwise small and inaccessible areas. Proper knowledge of the general principles of the use and function of mechanical staplers is mandatory for modern surgery, because their misuse may result in devastating complications such as anastomotic leakage or bleeding. Finally, while Billroth claimed more than a century ago that “drainage saves many lives,” the use of the “time-honored” surgical drain has changed dramatically, because accumulating studies have shown convincingly that drains are often useless or even harmful in many procedures. Open drains are rarely needed today. The last chapter presents the principles of the various types of drains including a table of “evidence-based” utility of drains for upper abdominal surgery.
These chapters covering the general aspects of surgery were prepared in a simple, yet comprehensive manner. We believe that the didactic and basic information provided in these introductory chapters of the Atlas will be of value for both trainees and specialized surgeons.

Positioning and Accesses
Yvonne Knoblauch, Dieter Hahnloser
Positioning
Correct and stable positioning of the patient is the first step for a successful operation. Safe arm and leg positioning are crucial in preventing pressure lesions, such as ulnar or peroneal neuropathy.
Supine Position
The supine position is used for most abdominal procedures. The arms can be left out (A-1) or kept close to the body (A-2), depending on the type of operation to be performed.
■Anchor the patient’s legs and/or ankles with a strap in case tilt is required
■Protect arms with a pillowcase, gauze sponge, or silicone pad
■Avoid traction on the brachial plexus (abduction of the shoulder should be <90°)
