This book, a guide to surgical anatomy and operative surgical techniques as it stood at the turn of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the dramatic progress made in surgery in the 19th century. The author was a highly regarded surgeon who taught and practiced at the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College in New York City, and he sought to provide medical students and practitioners with a comprehensive reference. The initial chapters of the work introduce the essential theory, materials, and techniques of surgical intervention, including a comprehensive overview of ligation methods, wound care, and the use of anesthetic gases. The author then presents a region-by-region analysis of the surgical anatomy of the human body. For each region, the author describes the surgical anatomy, surface form and landmarks, and general surgical considerations before proceeding to describe the specific instruments, steps, and potential complications associated with surgical intervention in that area. Of particular note is the inclusion of operative techniques for conditions that are now treated with non-surgical methods, such as the surgical intervention necessary to address an aneurysm. Overall, this book is an historically significant volume that offers contemporary readers a glimpse into the foundations of modern surgery.
