Sinopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Appendicitis and Notes on Other Subjects
Eight years ago, when there was confusion in antiseptic methods Of wound treatment,i presented a little book, which was accepted because it told of one way for accomplishing certain ends. At the present time, while there is confusion of ideas on the subject of appendicitis, it is perhaps a favorable time for blazing one clear trail through the subject in a similar way. In the matter of Operative procedures, I have due respect for methods which are different from my own, believing that in the art Of surgery every surgeon is a law unto himself, and that 'e knows the factors of his own success. This collection of ectures includes the substance of my teaching on the subject of appendicitis at the post-graduate Medical School in New York and I have added a series Of notes on other subjects which have received little attention in literature, but which have interested my class.

Excerpt from Lectures on Appendicitis and Notes on Other Subjects
There has been little to add to a contribution on the subject of the pathology of appendicitis which I offered to the profession at the meeting of the Pan-American Medical Congress in 1893 and published in the first edition of these lectures in 1895. Students of the subject of appendicitis in this country and in Europe have corroborated the testimony then offered without making addition to the principles or opposing the theories advanced. We may assume that the pathology of appendicitis is thoroughly understood, and that we need not look for many further additions to our knowledge upon that subject in the future.
In operative methods I have adopted the McBurney blunt dissection operation for entering the abdominal cavity, but have made no other changes from the methods described in the second edition of the lectures. My statistics continue to show the advantages of leaving out of the technique of operation, features which have a special death-rate of their own. It is apparent to many observers of methods that gauze packing has a special death-rate of its own, that iodoform gauze packing has a special death-rate of its own, that the plans of ligating the appendix like an artery, of making long and multiple incisions, of leaving infected or concretion-bearing appendices among adhesions after opening one abscess, all have special death-rates of their own. At the time of publication of this edition I am firm in the conviction, based upon practical results, that the principles of treatment that were laid down in the first edition taught the avoidance of methods which make appendicitis operations unpopular with physicians in some parts of this country and in other countries.
In this edition I have added several brief features which seemed to be to the point, namely: A note on the frequency of the occurrence of appendicitis. A series of summaries to facilitate an easy review of matters of leading importance. The testimony of ten consecutive appendicitis patients on their views of the comparison between medical and surgical treatment. A note on the attitude of ten physicians on the subject of appendicitis; and, A description of the formalin preparation of catgut.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to appendicitis, a condition resulting from bacterial infection of the appendix vermiformis, a small projection from the large intestine. The author, a prominent surgeon, draws on his extensive experience to offer a detailed examination of the disease, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. The book begins by discussing the anatomy and function of the appendix and the various factors that can lead to its infection. It then delves into the different stages of appendicitis, from the early onset of inflammation to the development of complications such as abscesses and peritonitis. The author provides clear explanations of the disease's progression and the associated risks, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and prompt medical intervention. The book also addresses the surgical treatment of appendicitis, including both traditional and laparoscopic approaches. The author describes the techniques involved in each procedure, along with the potential benefits and risks. He also discusses the importance of postoperative care and provides guidance on how to prevent recurrence. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the crucial role of understanding the disease process and the individual patient's condition in determining the best course of treatment. With its wealth of information and expert insights, this book is an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals, medical students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of appendicitis and its management. Its comprehensive approach and accessible language make it a valuable addition to the medical literature and a trusted source of information for anyone affected by this common condition.
