Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Retrospect of Surgery: January 1886-January 1890
Surgery of the Kidney - Since my last report on the above subject a year ago, much new matter that is valuable has appeared in the medical journals, and I feel that a short account of what has been recently done in this comparatively new surgical field will be interesting to readers. In the last Retrospect I devoted considerable space to the surgery of the intestines, in which department, also, much is being done. The surgery of the kidney and of the intestines has advanced side by side, the success in each division being made possible by the great impetus Operative surgery in general has received from the improved methods of treating wounds by the introduction Of antiseptics.
