Of course, you have to remember that some operations are far too complicated for the beginner. Even quite gifted amateurs will have difficulty in coping with delicate neurosugical procedures. Amputations can be pretty tricky too. Before you do anything at all you must plan your operation. You may have a cool nerve, steady hands and an incisive mind but you wont get far without a few instruments.
Planning is all important in surgery.
There is nothing worse than getting to the end of an operation and discovering that you dont have anything with which to close the wound. You'll find that walk to the local sudery appliances shop twice as long when your having to hold the edges of a gaping wound together. The first decision you must make concerns the nature of the operation you intend to perform. Dont allow yourself to drift into doing a operation just because you can pronounce it. Try to choose one that will be useful.
