OF OPERATIVE SURGERY BY DR. OTTO ZUCKERKANDL Privat-docent in the University of Vienna AUTHORIZED TRANSLATION FROM THE GERMAN EDITED BY J. CHALMERS DACOSTA, M.D. Clinical Professor of Surgery in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia; With 24 Colored Plates and 217 Illustrations in the Text PHILADELPHIA W. B. SAUNDERS 925 WALNUT STREET LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS ELECTROTYPED BY WESTCOTT & THOMSON, PHILADA. COPYRIGHT, 1898, BY W. B. SAUNDERS. PRESS OF W. B. SAUNDERS, EDITOR'S NOTE. DR. ZUCKERKANDL requires no introduction to Englishspeaking readers. In this Atlas he has laid down the rules and methods of surgical procedure with the clearness that springs from definite knowledge and the emphasis that is born of conviction. He describes lucidly and tersely the operations of modern surgery, and in a manner that fits the book to be a guide to the surgeon who operates upon the living or to the student who works upon the cadaver, the verbal descriptions being reinforced and illuminated by a large number of excellent original cuts. The aim of the translator has been to portray the spirit rather than the exact words of the author. In a very few places the editor has added notes that are explanatory in their nature, and are not to be considered as portions of the text. 3 |
