Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1826, provides a detailed overview of surgical practices. Its first section focuses on amputation, discussing the appropriate time to perform the procedure, the treatment of resulting wounds, and the prevention of infection. The author, an experienced naval surgeon, emphasizes the importance of immediate amputation in cases of severe injury, challenging the then-prevalent view that patients should wait to recover from the shock of injury before undergoing surgery. The book also covers topics such as hospital gangrene, simulated diseases, and the removal of tumors, presenting a comprehensive guide to surgical techniques and principles. The author's insights and the book's extensive coverage of surgical procedures make it a valuable resource for medical practitioners.
