Synopsis

The Principles Of Surgery is a nineteenth?century surgical manual that surveys vascular disorders and tumours, with emphasis on pathophysiology, prognosis, and practical surgical management. It blends theoretical accounts of inflammation and vascular action with concrete operative guidance, detailing methods to control hemorrhage, treat phlebitis and varicose veins, manage air in veins, and select excision or cautery strategies for tumors. The text outlines a two?track approach that balances constitutional care (diet, rest, tonics) with local measures such as drainage, ligation, and careful dissection, aiming to preserve tissue and function. It also presents an extensive framework for bone and soft?tissue infections, abscesses, tumors, and a wide range of traumatic injuries, including fractures, dislocations, burns, gunshot wounds, and tetanus. Throughout, the emphasis is on early, decisive intervention when systemic power permits, and cautious, staged care when patients are asthenic. The work anchors surgical practice in anatomy, pathology, and evolving clinical reasoning.
