Practical Observations in Surgery: More Particularly as Regards the Naval and Military Service, Illustrated by Cases, and Various Official Documents (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Observations in Surgery: More Particularly as Regards the Naval and Military Service, Illustrated by Cases, and Various Official Documents
It must, however, be admitted, that the last century has added largely to the previous stock of general information; and no art or science has felt its beneficial influence in a higher degree than the science of Surgery. The different wars of defence or aggression in which the various States of Europe have been unhappily engaged for so many years past, have tended, extensively, to enlarge the boundaries of surgical science, and to give a decisive boldness and dexterity to the opera tive part, of which the most skilful of our predecessors at the commencement of the eighteenth century could form no idea.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1826, provides a detailed overview of surgical practices. Its first section focuses on amputation, discussing the appropriate time to perform the procedure, the treatment of resulting wounds, and the prevention of infection. The author, an experienced naval surgeon, emphasizes the importance of immediate amputation in cases of severe injury, challenging the then-prevalent view that patients should wait to recover from the shock of injury before undergoing surgery. The book also covers topics such as hospital gangrene, simulated diseases, and the removal of tumors, presenting a comprehensive guide to surgical techniques and principles. The author's insights and the book's extensive coverage of surgical procedures make it a valuable resource for medical practitioners.
