Synopsis
Excerpt from Surgery, Vol. 1: Its Principles and Practice
My thanks are especially due to Professor J. Chalmers Da Costa, whose ripe surgical knowledge, advice, and practical aid have been and will continue to be of inestimable value.
That the publishers have given generous help, this volume is the best evidence. They have cheerfully cooperated from the very first, and have spared no expense, especially in the many illustrations.
The other four volumes will follow as rapidly as they can be printed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical overview of the development of surgical practices. The narrative begins with ancient Greek physician Hippocrates and traces surgical advancement through the 18th century, exploring the contributions of notable figures like Galen of Pergamon and Ambroise Pare. The author traces the influence of Galen's teachings on surgical science and the later work of Vesalius, who challenged Galenic beliefs and opened the door for a scientific approach to anatomy. Through the story of Pare, a barber-surgeon, we see how battlefield necessity and independent thinking led to the advancement of surgical techniques.
