Imagine a surgeon, their hands as deft and precise as a skilled pianist playing a grand concerto. These graceful movements, awe-inspiring as they may be, are merely the surface of a much broader tale. Beneath this polished exterior lies a deep and intensive cognitive activity, developed through years of dedicated training. And it is here, dear readers, that the power of research reveals itself.
Research unravels the mysteries of surgical reasoning and quality. It guides us to question not just what we can do with our hands, but what we should do. Who, in this vast world of surgical practice, will assess the quality of our actions? How shall we distinguish between the golden standards and those that have faded into the annals of history?
But research goes beyond dismantling outdated practices. It nurtures the spirit of innovation, propelling surgeons to new frontiers of creativity. Surgeons are constantly exploring and implementing new techniques, instruments, and procedures. However, it is essential to conduct research to ensure the safety and efficacy of these innovations.
The second talk in this series will dissect surgical research, highlights why we need research, how to conduct robust research and how surgeons can be scientists.
So, fasten your seatbelts, ignite your curiosity, and open your minds to the limitless possibilities that await us.
