Ear Acupuncture
"Die Zeit der Chirurgie als ***handwerklich dominiertes*** Berufsbild ist lange vorbei. Der erfolgreiche Oralchirurg bezieht heute die unterschiedlichsten Parameter des Patienten in seine ganzheitliche Therapie mit ein. Zur Diagnostik und unterstützenden Therapie kann er sich auf die historisch begründete und inzwischen wissenschaftlich fundierte, kontrollierte Akupunktur stützen."
From a text about ear acupuncture. There are several different translations of "handwerklich", and I'm not really sure which one applies. Technically dominated? Dominated by skill? Dominated by craft? I just don't know what to make of it. TIA for your help.

being dominated by skilled craftsmen
would something along these lines work? The next sentence then addresses the surgeon and continues about the new skills, i.e. no longer a *craft* but a holistic approach.

Surgery is no longer a dominant factor of medical practise, is what they mean, Rowan :-)

: don't think so, it's the surgeon as a craftsman who is a bit out of date.
