Why Anatomy Matters at the Table

Captions available

The idea

Anatomy gives the surgical team a shared, precise language for where structures are and what lies beneath them.

In practice

When a surgeon asks for exposure deep to a muscle, or warns of a vessel medial to a nerve, the scrub person needs to follow at once.

Where people slip

The scrub person learns anatomy to anticipate the next step, not to diagnose or to operate.
