Publisher's Synopsis
Daniel Henry Walne was a leading practitioner of ovarian surgery in the Victorian era, and this volume is one of the most important contributions to the field. He details a series of cases in which he employed the large abdominal section technique to remove cystic and dropsical ovaries, often with remarkable success. The book contains detailed descriptions of the surgeries, as well as discussion of the challenges and rewards of this kind of operation. This is an essential text for anyone interested in the history of surgery or gynecology.
