Synopsis
Excerpt from Operative Surgery
IT is hoped that this work will be of service to surgeons wishing to hastily look up the leading features of an operation, and also to those who are performing operations upon the cadaver or watching them upon the living.
No attempt has been made to give lengthy descriptions or to mention all the operations in surgery, but simply to give a brief account, with special attention to the important points of those procedures which the author believes to be the best in the various regions. Similarly, the anatomy concerned in each operation is given with the greatest possible brevity, but should be sufficient in the hands of those for whom the work is intended to save the extra reference to an anatomical book. An attempt has been made in the memoranda to emphasize any specially important points concerned in the operations, or to give hints which it has been found from personal experience facilitate their performance.
