The Mechanics of Surgery

The Mechanics of Surgery

IN the conception and preparation of this work it is not assumed to offer advice as to when or how surgical op~rations should be performed. The pathology, etiology, prognosis and non-mechanical treatment of disease have been studiously avoided, save where necessary to completeness, the aim being to illustrate and describe such mechanical appliances as research and experience have proved to be suitable, or best adapted to the purposes for which they were designed.
