Synopsis

Mastering the basics of surgical science and patient care Discover the essentials of inflammation, wound healing, and early cancer concepts in this classic introduction to surgery. It presents clear explanations of how inflammation starts, what the signs mean, and how doctors think about diagnosis and treatment.

This edition frames the key ideas with practical detail, using accessible language and illustrative examples. It covers local and general signs, the life cycle of inflammatory processes, and the important choices surgeons face when infection, injury, or cancer are involved. It is a practical companion for students, trainees, and curious readers seeking a solid grounding in surgical reasoning.

• Foundational concepts of inflammation, repair, and the body’s defenses against microbes


• How to recognize local and systemic signs, and what they imply for treatment


• Principles of diagnosis and prognosis in cancer, including when to suspect malignancy


• Historical and practical context for early surgical decision‑making

Ideal for readers beginning a study of surgery, medical students, and professionals needing a refresher on core surgical topics.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

My own view is decidedly in favour of a course of lectures, provided that they are not mere abstracts from the textbooks, but are directed rather towards those main principles of diagnosis and treatment that are based on a sound knowledge of pathology. They should be aids to the student in thinking out for himself those pathological and diagnostic problems that are presented to him in the wards and in the textbooks. In order to do this, he must study these General Principles and understand the value of their universal application in so-called special regions, that is, to diseases affecting any portion of the body. As soon as the General Principles are understood, and their applicability realized, the student ceases to be overwhelmed by the masses of detail presented to him, and begins to feel an interest in subjects which before seemed surrounded by insurmountable difficulties. It has been the chief object of my own lectures, of which the present book is an abstract, to emphasize the importance of these General Principles, and the fragmentary and dogmatic character of the teaching is due to the fact that my only intention is to provide a supplement to, not a substitute for, the standard textbooks. So many students and friends have begged me to publish my views onS urgery, that I have been encouraged to express them in this form. It would have been impossible for me to do so in the limited time at my disposal but for the invaluable help given me by Dr. Boswell of Hartlepool, on whom I depended for the correction and revision of my rough proofs, and by Mr. F. C. Pybus, Surgical Registrar to the Royal Victoria I nfirmary, Newcastle-upon-T yne, to whom I am indebted for the greater number of the illustrations. R. M. Newcastle-upon-T yne, November,
