Abstract

Advanced OR nursing practice is emerging and the roles, responsibilities, relationships, and rewards are spread over preoperative, operative, and postoperative work units. The roles of the nurse in advanced practice are multidimensional: clinical, collegial, educative, investigatory, and administrative. Though the primary allegiance of the ANP is to nursing, she has a commitment and the skills to work collaboratively with other nurses and disciplines on the surgery team.

[Electrosurgical loop procedures in ambulatory gynecology].

The article gives a survey of the new electrosurgical excision procedures that are gaining widespread use in office gynaecology in the nineties. A special emphasis is put on the easy learning procedures, relatively low cost of equipment and the results, which seem to match the results of cold-knife- and laser-conization. The advantages and pitfalls of the see-and-treat principle are discussed and the indications, other than cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, are mentioned.

Developing visiting surgical services for rural and remote Australian communities.

The University Department of Surgery at Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre (Perth, Western Australia) has undertaken a pilot project to provide surgical services to country communities where no such service exists. Three surgeons undertake a regular schedule of appointments, and are accompanied by final-year medical students to give them experience with common conditions rarely managed in teaching hospitals. The service is supported by a central administrative office and coordinated by a general practitioner, who negotiates with the regional healthcare providers. Patients are referred by their general practitioner, who may work with the surgeon as anaesthetist or surgical assistant.
