Présentation de l'éditeur
In this volume I have included only those operations which are common to the two sexes. No gynaecological operations are described. The surgery of those organs, such as the kidney and the bladder, which is partly intraperitoneal and partly extraperitoneal, is not included, nor are the various operations for hernia. The operations described are those in general use, and all, or almost all, of them are those practised by myself. Some comment will doubtless be made on the fact that there is no detailed reference to any mechanical appliance, button or bobbin, for intestinal anastomosis. This omission is made deliberately, for I believe that the purpose of these mechanical aids has been served, and that their interest is now only historical. The illustrations are, with few exceptions, original, and have been drawn for me by Miss Ethel M. Wright. I desire to express my thanks to her for her careful and successful work. In preparing the subjects for illustrations, and in the laborious task of reading proofs, I have received great help from Mr. W. Gough, F.R.C.S., and Mr. H. Upcott, F.R.C.S. I am greatly indebted to my secretary, Miss A. M. Harrold, for help at all stages of the work. B. G. A. MOYNIHAN. 33 Park Square, Leeds.
