Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the radical changes to surgical extremity treatment that have occurred during the past 150 years. Once a procedure associated with near certain death, amputation is rarely required today thanks to the author's thorough examination of aseptic surgical techniques, wound care, skin grafting, the use of anesthetics, and advancements such as the X-ray machine. From the initial introduction of antiseptics in the mid-19th century to contemporary methods of wound management, this book places innovations such as iodine skin preparation, the use of bone plates and wire in orthopedic surgeries, and modern skin grafting techniques within a historical context. It also covers associated innovations such as the use of chloroform and ether as anesthetics and the development of X-ray technology. The text illustrates how these innovations have transformed the field from one where the mortality rate following amputation was nearly 50% to the present day, where the majority of patients can expect to leave the hospital within days. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334700385_0
