Excerpt from On the Treatment of Amputations by the Open Method
Now to return to the limb-amputations. It certainly speaks well for a peculiar manner of dressing stumps, when the results have been in fourteen consecutive amputations so unprecedented, under circumstances that surgeons would sup pose most adverse; and Dr. Wood may well look with pro found satisfaction upon this array of successful cases, and feel an honest pride in having revived a method of treating stumps which was unwisely rejected, but which is productive of such excellent results.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a critical analysis of amputation techniques employed in hospital practice, focuses on a new surgical dressing method that has led to groundbreaking results and reduced the previously high mortality rate significantly. The author, a hospital surgeon, introduces an open wound treatment that leaves the stump open to the air, facilitating free drainage and preventing suppurative fever and other life-threatening complications. This method has achieved an astonishingly low temperature record during recovery, indicating minimal constitutional disturbance from secondary fever. The author contrasts this with closed wound treatments prevalent at the time, which often led to abscesses, erysipelas, and even death. Through a series of case studies, the book demonstrates the effectiveness of the open wound technique, providing a valuable resource for surgeons seeking to improve amputation outcomes in hospital settings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780260122339_0
