Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This surgical text from 1888 provides an in-depth exploration of bowel surgery, focusing on intestinal obstruction as the primary cause of death for one in every 350 individuals. The author, a leading figure in abdominal surgery, brings many years of experience and experimentation to bear on the subject. The book describes in detail the author's experiments on dogs to demonstrate the causes and effects of intestinal obstruction. These experiments highlight the role of reex irritation at the site of strangulation, which drives the cascade of destructive changes that lead to gangrene and infection. In addition to exploring the physiological processes underlying intestinal obstruction, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the surgical techniques and materials available at the time for addressing this condition. The author's innovative use of rawhide and rubber plates for intestinal anastomosis, along with his advocacy for clean surgical practices, reect the emerging understanding of surgical principles in the late 19th century. By dissecting and analyzing the complexities of intestinal obstruction, this book significantly advanced the field of abdominal surgery and laid the groundwork for future advancements in the treatment of this life-threatening condition.
