Dr. de Tarnowsky also authored Medical War Manual No. 7 and Military Surgery of the Zone of the Advance. Among the most notable improvements in the treatment of traumatic wounds, directly attributable to World War experience, may be mentioned accurate localizing methods for the safe and easy removal of foreign bodies; substitution of sense of touch by direct visualization under the fluroscope; estimation of cranial wounds in terms of neurological disturbances instead of bone lesions; immediate attack of intra-articular lesions with removal of foreign bodies; the phenomenally successful extension of intrathoracic surgery, maxillo-facial reconstruction, and plastic surgery; abandonment of the suprapubic puncture and drainage for radical exploratory laparotomy and immediate repair of visceral lesions. Never before has there been such an opportunity to study the protective forces of Nature, to master a technicque based on our present knowledge and conception of physiology, so that the surgeon could work hand-in-hand with Nature and not against it.
