Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Operations of Surgery, Vol. 1: Intended Especially for the Use of Those Recently Appointed on a Hospital Staff and for Those Preparing for the Higher Examinations
Tins book, of which the previous editions appeared in 1888, 1891, 1897, and 1902, was the outcome of a strong belief, which I have held for many years, that a work on Operative Surgery which aimed at being more comprehensive in scope and fuller in detail than those already published, would be of service to many who had recently been elected to hospital appointments, and to those who were working for the higher examinations. For these, and these only, not for those with a large surgical experience, this book is intended, and, as I have pointed out here and there, some of the recommendations made apply to those who have not a well-appointed hospital at their back.
Mr. Steward having been unable to continue the help which he gave me in the fourth edition, I have gratefully availed myself of Mr. R. P. Rowlands' services in the sections dealing with the general surgery of the abdomen; for these he has made himself entirely responsible. Mr. G. Bellingham Smith, Assistant Physician to the Gynaecological department at Guy's Hospital, has thoroughly revised and largely re-written the chapters dealing with Operations on the Ovary and Uterus in this and the last edition; Dr. Dakin having given this help in the third.
