This article reviews several methods of altering knot and link diagrams without changing the Jones polynomial of the underlying link. The technique, which may be called diagram surgery or generalized mutation, involves removing a part of the diagram and replacing it in an altered form. In general, the resulting knot or link is different from the original. An important possible application of this technique would be to find a nontrivial knot with trivial Jones polynomial. Our point of viewinvolves skein theory and the Temperley-Lieb algebra, and underlines the utility of these ideas.
