Excerpt from General Surgery: A Presentation of the Scientific Principles Upon Which the Practice of Modern Surgery Is Based
MY associate, Dr. Lewis, and myself have undertaken the translating and editing of this text-book on General Surgery, written by Prof. Erich Lexer, because we believe that it presents the present status of the subject of general surgery in a more thorough and complete way than any other text-book.
This work is a presentation of the scientific principles upon which the practice of modern surgery is based.
In text-books on surgery in all languages two great divisions of the subject are made, and to these two divisions of the subject various names have been given. In England and America, the terms the Science and Art of Surgery and the Principles and Practice of Surgery have been generally employed. On the Continent, the terms General and Special Surgery are used.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the product of decades of knowledge gained through research and advancement in the field of general surgery. It presents the current state of the subject and details principles upon which the practice of modern surgery is based. The author has taken care to offer a clear, concise, and practical approach to even the most complex of surgical conditions. This text may be best suited for readers with a general knowledge of the subject, or for those seeking to broaden their understanding of surgical practices. In this book, the author divides the subject into two great divisions: the science and art of surgery, and the principles and practice of surgery. Principles and practice are generally used on the continent. These latter seem preferable, and so the author has retained the term general surgery. There are general principles of pathology and therapeutics and operative technic which apply to all fields of surgery. When these are mastered, application to particular conditions becomes intelligent and easy. The subject of general surgery should be studied before regional or special surgery is taken up. The author believes the advances in surgical science in recent years have outpaced the knowledge of many, particularly those engaged in active practice. Developments such as the understanding of the significance and importance of modern conceptions of infection and immunity, for example, are explained by the author in a clear, concise, and practical way. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
