Présentation de l'éditeur
The First English Edition, published in 1895, was translated from theS econd German Edition, published in 1894. This, theS econd English Edition, which is a translation of the Fourth (latest) German Edition, is only a few pages less than twice the size of its predecessor. There -have also been added 70 new illustrations, many of which are coloured. The sections dealing with A naesthesia, the Treatment of Wounds, the Head and Neck, Thorax, Abdomen and Pelvis, have been entirely rewritten, and the same may be said of the sections on Amputations andE xcisions. Compared, therefore, with the former English Edition, the present work may be regarded as practically a new book. Since the publication of the Fourth German Edition there has appeared, in the Zentralblatt fUr Chirurgie, of 10th January, 1903, a paper from the pen of Professor Kocher, entitled Mobilisierung des Duodenum und Gastroduodenostomie. The author speaks so highly of the operation that I have considered it advisable to introduce, in the form of an appendix, a translation of this important paper. For the time and labour expended in the translation the writer derives no inconsiderable reward from the consciousness that the teaching and methods of so great a master asP rofessor Kocher will be welcomed not only by senior students and practitioners, but also by all who are actively engaged in the teaching and practice of surgery. I have great pleasure in acknowledging my indebtedness to my friend Dr. G. LovELL GULLAND for the valuable help he has again given me with the translation, in which I have also been ably assisted by my former House Surgeon, Dr. H. D. Shepherd. My cordial thanks are due also toM r. George Stronach, M.A., for the literary care with which he has read the proofs, and to my assistant. Dr. CuTHBERT B, Paul, for preparing the index, and for much general help throughout the work. HAROL

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
