ACKNOWLEDGMENT

      The start of this project dates back to October 2017. Although we started with much enthusiasm and energy, it did not take us long to understand that putting what we know on paper does not easily translate to performing the procedures in the clinic. Looking for new ways of telling the story took us to Ferhat Çevik, a self-improving, open-minded digital illustrator. We had never met him in person as he lives in another city, but our e-mail correspondence worked out perfectly, resulting in the magnificent illustrations in this book.

      Undoubtedly, the illustrations alone were not sufficient; we also had to include the hand instruments for suturing. In this regard, Giana Spasic from Hu-Friedy provided generous support, as she always has, supplying us with all the necessary instruments in the shortest possible time.

      So here we were, two authors from two different surgical disciplines, attempting to tackle instrument photography, again believing that whatever we know and do is right. We procured a photo light box, on top of all the photography materials we already had, and started to take photographs of our hand instruments. However, we realized soon enough that taking product photographs was nothing like taking family photos. It took us eight Saturdays and a pile of less-than-ideal-quality photographs to realize that this was not our forte either and that we needed help from professionals. Ahmet Koçak from Kandemir Photography came to the rescue and provided full support.

      We would like to express our gratitude to Dr Ertuğrul Çetinkaya, the Managing Editor of Quintessence Türkiye, who mentored us through the process, and language editor, Avril du Plessis, for her exceptional cooperation.

      We would therefore like to express our gratitude to all these esteemed and enlightened people whose support was essential in making this book a reality. We would also each like to express our special thanks to one another, as co-authors, not merely for completing the book, but also for having a pleasant time and becoming good friends during this process.
