Handbook Of Surgical Operations (1863)

The Handbook of Surgical Operations, written by Stephen Smith and first published in 1863, is a comprehensive guide to surgical procedures of the time. The book covers a wide range of surgical techniques, from amputations and ligations to more specialized procedures such as trephining and lithotomy. Each procedure is described in detail, with step-by-step instructions and illustrations to aid the surgeon in performing the operation. The book also includes sections on surgical instruments, anesthesia, and post-operative care. While some of the techniques described in the book may be outdated or no longer in use, the Handbook of Surgical Operations remains an important historical reference for understanding the development of surgical techniques and practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
