Abstract
After these preparatory chapters now we are ready to describe the surgery scheme in the symplectic category. First we will deal with the general cutand-paste operation and then examine the handle attachment procedure in detail. The chapter concludes with the description of a version of surgery which will be useful in the contact setting, see Chapter 11.
