Hand Book Of Surgical Operations Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Student's Handbook of Surgical Operations The present work is intended for the use of students who are preparing for the final examinations, or who need a hand-book to assist them in carrying out operations upon the dead body. The book is abridged from the author's large Manual of Opera, tive Surgery. That work aims at dealing in an exhaustive manner With the whole subject of Opera tive surgery, or of treatment by operation. This hand-book concerns itself only with the most essen tial and most commonly performed operations. All matters save such as deal with the actual technical details of operative surgery have been omitted. I have not discussed the general principles of Operative surgery, nor have I entered into a critical considera tion of the value of various methods. I have assumed that the reader is familiar With the anatom y of the district concerned in each section, and I have omitted all accounts of the after-treatment. I have given no description of instruments and have left untouched the subjects of mortality and results.

Excerpt from Hand-Book of Surgical Operations Tms hand-book of Surgical Operations has been prepared at the suggestion of several professional friends, who early entered the medical staff of the Volunteer Army. It was alleged that the military surgeon of this country had no small and convenient work suitable for a pocket companion, containing the details of the more common as well as the important operations in sur gery. He must either encumber himself with the large treatises on general and operative surgery, or rely upon his unaided memory in the emergencies of the service. In its scope the work is limited to those branches of Operative surgery which are of the most importance to the military sur geon. This was deemed advisable, in order to render the volume as convenient and portable as possible. Within these limits the constant effort has been to embrace the greatest number of sub jeeta, to arrange them in the best form for reference, and to give the largest amount of practical details, anatomical and Opera tive.

Excerpt from A Short Manual of Surgical Operations To the defects incidental to this plan of treatment of such a wide subject the author is fully alive. But it is hoped that these short sketches from the hand of one who has been in the midst of Operative surgery for many years may be of use to 'others, and may be none the less so that they are coloured in almost every case largely by his own personal experience.

Excerpt from The Operations of Surgery: A Systematic Handbook for Practitioners, Students and Hospital Surgeons This book is the outcome Of a strong belief, which I have held for many years, that a work on Operative Surgery which aimed at being more comprehensive in Scope and fuller in detail than those already published, would be of service to Practitioners and Students.

Excerpt from The Surgeon's Handbook on the Treatment of Wounded in War According to the requirements, upon the exact fulfilment of which the award of the prize was made to depend, this handbook must so completely represent the modern views of military surgery by an exact but brief description of the different dressings, and the various methods of applying them, as well as of the surgical operations which are performed in the field, that it would become the indispensable companion and practical assistant of every mili tary surgeon.

Excerpt from A Short Manual of Surgical Operations In writing this small work at the request of some better qualified to judge of the need of a Short Manual of Operative Surgery than himself, the author has fully recognised the difficulty of the task. On the one hand, Operative Surgery has made such vast strides of late, owing to the recognition of the antiseptic regime, that a book which should give an account of all its most recent achievements alone would have to be large; while, on the other, many of the older procedures, which are gradually being supplanted by newer operations, could not yet be left out of any manual which in the least aspired to completeness. The difficulty, in short, appeared to resolve itself into one of the selection of those of the newer procedures which ought to be familiar to all practitioners, and of those older ones which, for a time at least, are not likely to fall into disuse. In carrying out this selection the author has striven to describe the older and presumably better known operations as shortly as possible, so that in dealing with the newer and less familiar procedures more space might remain for detailed description.
