Excerpt from On Ovariotomy
When Clay, of Manchester, and Peaslee and the brothers Atlee, of America, began to perform ovariotomy, they met with nothing but rebuke from their brethren, who stood aghast, and called them by the hardest of names. I was among the great herd that could scarcely find terms strong enough to con demu what were then characterized as acts of butchery and murder. But, thanks to their unfaltering perseverance, sec ended eventually so ably by Spencer Wells and Baker Brown in England, and by Kimball, Dunlap, and Bradford in our own country, ovariotomy is to-day recognized by the profession everywhere as a legitimate and justifiable operation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dangerous operation of ovariotomy, a procedure developed in the 19th century to remove diseased ovaries, which often led to sepsis and death. The author, a surgeon who performed the operation himself, argues that sepsis commonly occurred because surgeons left behind infected fluids, blood, and tissue fragments after surgery. To address this issue, he proposed a method of creating an opening in the abdomen and draining away fluids and tissue after surgery, a technique that was eventually adopted by most surgeons and significantly reduced the mortality rate of ovariotomy.
