Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Surgical Diseases of the Kidney and Ureter, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Injuries, Malformations and Misplacements; With Two Colored Plates and Upwards of Hundred Engravings
The development of the surgery of the ureter, which had barely commenced ten years ago, has of late made remarkable strides, as is shown by the fact that from 1894 to the present time about one hundred papers on the subject have been published, whereas in the five years immediately preceding, the number might have been counted on the fingers of one hand.
The Manual written in 1883 - 1884 is the nucleus Of Part I. Of this book; but that it is not more than a nucleus may be inferred from the growth of the literature during the last decade and a half and from the increase in personal experience gained by twenty years of practice in renal surgery. Part II. Of this book - namely, that on the ureter - is entirely new.
The work was commenced in the summer of 1897, and has absorbed the whole of my spare time since then.
It has been my desire to include everything of value which has been authentically established regarding the etiology, patho genesis, pathology, symptomatology, prognosis and treatment of the subject matters concerned; and where teaching or practice differs to give the views of representatives of the various schools.
