Synopsis

Excerpt from Manual of Operative Surgery

The frequent request on the part of those whom it has been my pleasure to instruct in operative surgery during the past few years, to make a book based somewhat on the plan I have employed in teaching this subject, is the principal incentive to my action. The field of operative surgery is too well cultivated already for one to do more in this brief space than aid the student of surgery to acquire established facts. The works of Ashhurst, Agnew, Gross, Erichsen, Holmes, Smith, Esmarch, Packard, Stimson, and many others, together with the current medical literature, have been consulted. The illustrations, which are numerous, have been selected in most instances from standard works, although a considerable number of original and modified illustrations have been introduced. Mr. W. F. Ford, of the reputable firm of Caswell, Hazard & Co., of this city, kindly provided the instrumental cuts, as is to be seen by the "Index of Illustrations." The author desires to acknowledge the aid derived from the above-mentioned sources, and trusts the reader will find something to commend in the pages that are to follow. The author regrets that sufficient data are not at hand to permit the "results" to be given in all instances as modified by the antiseptic method of treatment. The operations peculiar to the female sex, and the eye and ear, have not been considered, since they are entitled, in the opinion of the author, to a more extended consideration than the intentional scope of this work will admit. The author desires to acknowledge the valuable services of Drs. Glover, C. Arnold, and Herman M. Biggs, in connection with the proofreading, and of Dr. Arnold also for the complete indices of the book. The assistance of Dr. A. H. Doty in preparing many of the original illustrations is likewise gratefully acknowledged.
