Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Technic of Operations Upon the Intestines and Stomach
Three years ago I began an experimental study of gastro-intestinal technic. The animals used for the experiments were mainly dogs, although cats were employed for certain Operations.
The object of the experiments was to simplify, where possible, the best gastro-intestinal Operations. After careful study of an operation upon animals, the method was tried again upon the cadaver, for anatomical corrections.
In this book, which is the result of three years of research, are collected certain of the standard operations upon the intestines and the stomach.
No pretence is made of giving all of the methods in vogue, and many well-known operations have been omitted to give more room for illustrating the methods which were chosen. It is believed, however, that a knowledge of the technic, here included, will enable the surgeon to meet practically all of the requirements of gastro-intestinal surgery.
