This extraordinary book is an in-depth study of the great Scottish surgeon, James Syme, and the influence he exerted on the practice of surgery during his tenure as Regius Professor at the University of Edinburgh, 1833-1869. The author's intent is to examine the impact of Syme's life's work on later generations of surgeons. Syme was an outstanding surgeon whose methods attained international recognition. His originality, fearlessness, and surgical anatomy mastery contributed to his success and led to his being regarded as pre-eminent in his profession. His approach is most evident in the innovations he introduced for greater safety in surgical procedures and patient recovery. The author contends that Syme is most deserving of recognition for his introduction of excision of the elbow joint as a treatment for diseased joints (1828) and his development of a new amputation method at the ankle joint (1842). Syme is also credited with being an early pioneer in external urethrotomy (1849) and performing the first successful ligation of the iliac artery (1862).
