Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surgical Methods Among Savage Races This paper, which I present for your consideration, does not exhaust the subject - the history of surgery among savages. I have collected a few Of the more important operations and cus toms as practised by primitive people. In the earlier ages, the doctor and surgeon were one and the same person, but as time rolled on, the physician and surgeon be came distinct personages. The Old custom of the chirurgeon and physician being one and the same party is found in the country medical man of our century. Time, in this latter respect, has made no change. I claim nothing original in my paper. I present the labors of others; their scientific gems of research and thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Surgical Technique Aseptic Wounds: Read in the Section on Surgery and Anatomy at the Forty-Sixth Annual Meeting of the American Medical Association, at Baltimore, MD., May 7-10, 1895 The application of the buried suture may be effected in various ways. Where, for instance, it is desirable to coapt and hold at rest all the sundered structures, especially if they are liable to be hemorrhagic, the double continuous suture is of great importance, double, so that the tissue may be equally and evenly included and the coaptation perfect. This is best taken with a stitch similar to that of the shoemaker in his hand-sewing with a double thread. It is my habit thus to suture the peritoneum, the aponeurotic structures in laporotomy, hernia, etc. A continuous suture has a distinct advantage over the interrupted, in that we reduce to the minimum the knots which from their undue size ever act more or less as irritants. A great advantage results from the even adjustment of the parts, since in continuous suturing the compression must be the same along the whole line of stitches. In the application of buried sutures, it is of the first importance to remember that we do not use undue constricting force, since we are dealing with vitalized structures in which the circulation must not be unduly impaired. The same force applied to a buried suture as is to often, perhaps generally used, in the application of interrupted cutaneous sutures is very likely to be followed by a process of local necrosis, although the included tissues are aseptic.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Surgical Treatment, Vol. 5 of 7 We have ourselves frequently experienced the want of detailed informa tion, especially as regards the after-treatment of our cases, and have had to learn the best methods of procedure from experience. Nothing can of course replace experience, but it is often of the greatest advantage to have a detailed record of that of others upon which to base one's work. It is this want that the present work is intended to supply. We have tried to put ourselves in the place of those who have to treat a given case for the first time, and we have endeavoured to supply them with details as to treatment from the commencement to the termination of the illness. We have assumed that the reader is familiar with the nature and diagnosis of the disease, and we only refer to the pathology and symptoms in so far as it is necessary to render intelligible the principles on which the treatment is based, and the various stages of the disease to which each particular method is applicable. We have purposely avoided attempting to give anything like a complete summary of the various methods of treatment that have from time to time been proposed: to do so would merely confuse the reader. Only those plans are described which our experience has led us to believe are the best, but with regard to these we have endeavoured to state exactly and in detail what we ourselves should do under given circumstances. In some cases no doubt several methods of treatment are of equal value, and while we have only discussed at length that which we have ourselves been led to adopt, we have referred shortly to the others. We have not mentioned all the exceptional conditions that may be met with, but we have endeavoured to include all the circumstances with which the surgeon is most commonly called upon to deal. The task has been one of some difficulty, the more so as we have had, to a certain extent, to break new ground. This must serve as our excuse for the many shortcomings in the work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Military Surgery and Hygiene But surgery, like many other departments of knowledge which have been compelled to submit to this tyranny, and to contribute reluctantly to the perfection of a barbarous art, has, in its application to the purposes of war, we are happy to say, other and more legitimate ends. It is equally the mission of the Military Surgeon to prevent, as far as possible, all useless expenditure of life. In civilized war fare life is spared whenever a firelock is grounded, or an arm is disabled; and, so well is this understood, the wounded soldier does not hesitate to throw himself upon the mercy of his captors for surgical aid, since he is equally certain of receiving succor from the surgical corps of a foe as of a friend. Consider how much this serves to soften the savage aspect of war; that if battles must be fought, the results should be obtained with as little sacrifice of life, with as little mutilation and suffering as possible. The world is indebted to our profession for this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surgical Treatment of Wounded Men at Advanced Units: An Outline What an opportunity! What a necessity for each equipping himself as best he can so that he may give of his best to those who deserve it more than ever men did! In so far as we fail to accommodate ourselves to these unavoidable conditions or neglect opportunities of acquiring for ourselves or impart ing to others the special knowledge which will help our wounded men and fail to put that knowledge into practice, so far do we fail in duty to our country. These papers represent, in a modest way, a desire to help. They form a plain unvarnished statement of what a varied experience of three years leads me to think are the best methods of treating the wounded man from a professional point of view. Administration is not dealt with although adminis tration cannot be dissociated. Any attempt to divorce administrative from professional work is fraught with great danger to the success of our calling. If the administrator neglects the advice of his clinical brother his faulty administration may result, during a big battle, in the loss of literally hundreds of lives and of limbs which would other wise have been saved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Surgical Operations: Containing the New Methods of Operating Devised by Lisfranc, Followed by Two Synoptic Tables of Natural and Instrumental Labours Ir surgery be the most eflicacious resource of the healing art, it is only, as Professor Richerand observes, in the hands of such as cultivate it with the diligence it merits, and the information it demands. It is not by the sight, nor by familiarity with rules alone, that an Ope rator who wishes to acquire this knowledge should be guided; it is necessary to add thereto, long continued and active practice. It is not sufficient to have an exact acquaintance with the form, structure, situation, and functions of the different organs constituting the living body; it is not sufficient to have surmounted the disgust, difliculties, and fatigue which must necessarily be en dured by such as interrogate the cold remains of mor tality, in order to learn how to relieve those who suffer. Doubtless the surgeon should be long accustomed to perform Operations on the dead before he attempts them on the living body, because success depends in great measure on his address; and an error committed in this respect is no less disagreeable to him, than dangerous to his patient: but, still this is not the whole of Surgery. How dare one who calls himself a professional man, lay rash hands on the organs of an unfortunate who implores his aid, without having learned to calculate the results of an operation; if he undertake it without considering the constitution of the patient, or the condition of the viscera - ih a word, if he has not a profound acquaint ance with the principles of medicinep - The healing art.

This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Orificial Surgery and Its Application to the Treatment of Chronic Diseases If the blood current is strong and free, health is assured; if, on the other hand, the general circulation is sluggish, or local congestions occur, morbid processes are of necessity initiated. There is not a pathological lesion that does not have its beginning in blood stasis. To re-establish and to maintain a normal circulation, local and general, is, therefore, the great problem that demands solution in the successful treatment of chronic diseases, both medical and surgical. It is well known that it is upon nerve-force alone that the circulation depends for its activity. Hence a proper supply of nerve-force means a good circulation, with all its attendant blessings. A waste of nerve-force, or a low tone of the nervous system, means an enfeebled circulation, with its various forms of unfortunate sequences. The special nerve-force which presides over the circulation of the blood is furnished by the great vaso-motor system.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the American Eclectic System of Surgery Whatever fault may be found with this book, it can not be said that it was not called for; or that it contains nothing but what may be found in other works on the same subject. Without the risk of presumption, as regards himself, the author may safely claim that it presents the medi cal reader with more new and peculiar matter than any other surgical work, now in the hands of the profession. Mere novelty, however, on such a subject, would be a very questionable claim. The peculiarities of prae tice here recorded and recommended come with the sanction of experience. It may be necessary to apprise some of our readers that there are throughout this country, thousands of successful American practitioners, who in many cases rely on means and measures quite unknown to the profession in Europe, and unmention ed by the old school American writers, who do little but follow the guidance of their trans-atlantic authorities.

Download or read book Wound Treatment Classic Reprint written by Louis A. Merillat and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wound Treatment The treatment of wounds in the hands of the average veterinarian has not improved as much in the last dec ade as have other branches of purely operative surgery. A score of years ago, few veterinarians expected that wounds made in the course of their operations could be healed without infection. Now, the more successful practitioners reproach themselves if a wound of their own making develops sepsis. The treatment of acci dental wounds, on the other hand, is much the same now in the practice of most veterinarians as it was a double decade ago - that is, they are treated by washes, ointments, or dusting powders, as the inclina tion of the practitioner may direct, and seldom is a real conscious e ort made to render them germ-free, suture them up, and procure healing by first intention without the development of sepsis. This average of conditions is not true of the work of all, and it is for the purpose of placing the methods used by a number of the most successful practitioners in the hands of the whole profession that this little volume has been issued. It comprises the better articles on the use of antiseptics, suturing and treatment of wounds in gen eral, that have appeared in the american journal OF veterinary medicine during the past four or five years. The editor is convinced that the treatments herein given are practical for the average practitioner, and their care ful study will prove of much value to him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surgical Treatment, Vol. 2 of 3: A Practical Treatise on the Therapy of Surgical Diseases for the Use of Practitioners and Students of Surgery In the treatment of injuries and diseases of the scalp, there are certain peculiarities of structure to be considered. The scalp is loosely connected to the bone by elastic connective tissue, which renders it freely movable and easily detached, excepting in infancy and old age. Its blood supply is so rich that healing is easily secured. The chief arteries are the supraorbital, temporal, and occipital, and m making large flaps these vessels should be considered. The capillaries, anastomosing venules, and arterioles are so numerous as to give the scalp almost an angiocavernous or spongy character. The veins communicate through the minute openings in the skull with the intracranial vessels so freely that infections in the scalp always threaten the venous sinuses of the brain. The structure of the scalp is so firm and so related to the vessels that when the latter are divided they do not collapse but their mouths tend to remain open and bleed. The lymphatics empty into the lymph chains of the neck. The nerve supply is largely sensory, giving rise often to neuralgias if irritated by scar tissue. The motor nerves are to the occipitofrontalis, temporal, and small muscles of the ear. The nerve to the frontalis from the facial should be guarded from injury. The external periosteum of the skull has the power to generate bone even in adults. It is adherent with especial firmness at the suture lines. The deepness of the hair follicles and glands of the scalp renders perfect cleansing by mechanical means impossible. Iodin 1n alcohol or other penetrating antiseptic solution must be used for cleansing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
