Abstract: We provide a simple recipe for obtaining all self-adjoint extensions, together with their resolvent, of the symmetric operator $S$ obtained by restricting the self-adjoint operator $A:D(A)subseteqHoH$ to the dense, closed with respect to the graph norm, subspace $NsubsetD(A)$. Neither the knowledge of $S^{*}$ nor of the deficiency spaces of $S$ is required. Typically $A$ is a differential operator and $N$ is the kernel of some trace (restriction) operator along a null subset. We parametrise the extensions by the bundle $pi:E(fh)oP(fh)$, where $P(fh)$ denotes the set of orthogonal projections in the Hilbert space $fhsimeqD(A)/N$ and $p{i}^{-1}(Pi)$ is the set of self-adjoint operators in the range of $Pi$. The set of self-adjoint operators in $fh$, i.e. $p{i}^{-1}(1)$, parametrises the relatively prime extensions. Any $(Pi,Theta)inE(fh)$ determines a boundary condition in the domain of the corresponding extension $A_{Pi,Theta}$ and explicitly appears in the formula for the resolvent $(-A_{Pi,Theta}+z{)}^{-1}$. The connection with both von Neumann's and Boundary Triples theories of self-adjoint extensions is explained. Some examples related to quantum graphs, to Schr"odinger operators with point interactions and to elliptic boundary value problems are given.
