Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. From the 1890s onwards, the era of modern surgery took shape. This book captures the emergence of effective anaesthetics, antiseptics, and surgical techniques as applied by the author, Professor Kocher, a Swiss physician. During a time when the danger of infection was omnipresent, Kocher's dedication to asepsis allowed him to venture into operations previously considered too risky, such as gallbladder removal and stomach resections. By pairing his pursuit of a sterile surgical environment with the use of local and general anaesthetics, Kocher dramatically reduced the suffering of his patients, reduced mortality rates, and paved the way for today's advanced surgical practices. This book is a valuable historical resource for medical professionals and details the birth of modern surgical techniques.
