Nursology for Surgery – Fathy Mohamed Elmatawy

Nursology for Surgery – Fathy Mohamed Elmatawy, available via Tabib Mart, provides a targeted and clinically-oriented textbook for nursing students and peri-operative practitioners who work in surgical settings. Unlike general nursing guides, this book zeroes in on the distinct nursing responsibilities surrounding the operating theatre—preparation of instruments and equipment, intra-operative monitoring, post-operative nursing care, wound management, and surgical patient safety.

Beginning with the fundamentals—operating room sterility, instrumentation, patient prepping for anaesthesia—it then explores key surgical nursing domains: intra-operative nursing care pathways, monitoring vital parameters during surgery, instrument count and handling, management of common surgical complications (haemorrhage, hypothermia, infection), and post-operative recovery support including wound care, mobilisation, pain management and discharge planning.

High-yield features include checklists, real-life case scenarios, quick-reference tables for surgical nursing tasks, “pearls and pitfalls” sections for theatre-based nursing, and summary boxes for rapid revision. The book aligns with the practical demands of nursing training programmes and theatre attachments in Egypt and the region.

Whether you are a nursing student preparing for surgical rotations, a theatre nurse refining your workflow or a clinical trainer seeking a reference for peri-operative nursing education, this book offers clarity, structure and clinical applicability in an area where precision and timing matter.
