The First Lines Of The Practice Of Surgery: Designed As An Introduction For Students And A Concise Book Of Reference For Practitioners by Samuel Cooper. This historical surgical manual presents a comprehensive, text?book style survey of early modern operative medicine, with a particular focus on hernias and related abdominal and inguinal conditions as taught in the London medical scene. The volume interweaves detailed anatomy, developmental anatomy of the umbilical region, and differential diagnosis with practical operative techniques and post?operative care. It surveys congenital and acquired forms of exomphalos and inguinal hernias, compares reduction strategies, and endorses sustained compression and careful handling over violent manipulation. Drawing on authorities such as Scarpa, Petit, Méry, Desault, and Richter, the work situates procedures within historical debates and evolving craft, including suspensory devices, bandaging, and bedrest. While pedagogical in aim, the text also articulates indications for surgery, risks of strangulation, and the progression from non?operative management to operative intervention, making it a foundational reference for students and practitioners of surgery in the period.
