Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on understanding and treating injuries to the head. The author describes several cases where he successfully treated skull fractures resulting from blunt force trauma by preserving the skull bone and scalp by using a self-developed saw-like instrument to remove only the damaged portion of the skull. He argues that this method is superior to the trephination widely practiced at the time, as it preserves the natural covering of the brain and prevents unnecessary destruction of healthy bone. The author also shares insights on treating wounds to the posterior tibial artery and cataracts.
