Présentation de l'éditeur

The publication of a brief introduction to operations has become a pressing need in the surgical exercises which have been conducted jointly by the author and the undersigned, during the winter semester in the (B erlin) Veterinary High School. The submitted guide is intended primarily to serve as a catechism to the student in the technique of operations and to support the oral explanations in the course by text and illustration. Consequently only the most difficult and complicated and chiefly instrumental operations are described as briefly as possible and fundamentally from the standpoint of technique. Only one method of operation is described as a rule, namely, that which from the staiidpoint of personal experience has proven the best, as for instance, castration by torsion, the Bayer operation for quittor, our method for resecting the tendon of the flexor pedis muscle, etc. The multiplication of methods confuses the beginner readily ;, as an important lesson in operative instruction, the student must become thoroughly acquainted, among other things, with one method with which he becomes so familiar that he can rely upon it with perfect trust in practice. From this standpoint also the needs of the veterinary practitioner are met, who finds in the same, besides the most important operations on the horse, also some on cattle (amputation of the claws) and dogs (entropium operation). In order to confine the handbook within proper limits, the minor operations (sutures, cautery, catheterization, etc.).
