A Manual of the Operations of Surgery / For the Use of Senior Students, House Surgeons, and Junior Practitioners

The work offers concise, practical instruction in common surgical operations aimed at senior students, house surgeons, and junior practitioners. It systematically describes techniques such as ligature of arteries, amputations, excisions of joints, cranial and ocular procedures, nasal and facial reconstructive operations, jaw and oral surgeries, operations on the air passages, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, tenotomy, and nerve procedures. Emphasis falls on clear operative steps, incisions, instrument use, and accompanying illustrations intended for practice on the dead subject; historical detail and rare variants are intentionally omitted in favor of a compact, usable guide for clinicians, including those in remote service.
