Synopsis
Written by a prominent surgeon of the time, this comprehensive volume covers surgical principles and practices in the 19th century. Surgery in those days was evolving rapidly, moving from a trade practiced by barbers to a scientific discipline studied at medical schools. This book represents the leading-edge knowledge of the time in surgical interventions, classifying and describing ailments in a way that would be recognizable to modern readers. The author includes information on wound treatments, techniques to stop bleeding, battlefield triage, and ethical quandaries that surgeons might face. Of particular note is the detailed coverage of surgical procedures for amputations, which at the time were often necessary due to severe injury or infection.
