Abstract
Reproducible and safe surgery requires both visibility and vision. The first comes through the correct positioning of the patient on the operating table and the maximal utilization of the surgical incision. The second is harder won and comes with increasing experience and an ever open and questioning mind. Both require a close involvement by the surgeon responsible for the case at all times.
