Transcriber’s notes:
In this transcription, hyperlinks are indicated by a black dotted underline (and a teal highlight when the mouse pointer hovers over them). A red dashed underline indicates the presence of a transcriber’s comment; scrolling the mouse pointer over such text will reveal the comment. Footnote markers in the text are hyperlinked to the footnotes located at the end of the book. Page numbers are shown in the right margin.
Cross-references to tables, figures and pages within this volume have been hyperlinked, but cross-references to the other three volumes of the publication have not been hyperlinked because they are not yet available in html format.
The table of contents contains a mix of italicised and non-italicised entries that generally correspond to different heading levels in the body of the text, but the correspondence is inaccurate and not all headings are listed. No attempt has been made to correct these anomalies.
Where appropriate, illustrations have been repositioned close to their first reference in the text, and their page locations have been adjusted in the list of illustrations at the beginning of the book.
The text contains several archaic symbols representing measures of weight that were used by apothecaries. Modern browsers display the symbols correctly with Times New Roman or Lucida Sans Unicode fonts. The main symbols are ‘ʒ’ representing the drachm unit of weight, and ‘℥’ representing the ounce unit of weight (8 drachms = 1 ounce). The third symbol does not have an exact computer equivalent and has been represented in this transcription by the character ‘ɱ’, which can signify ‘minim’ (a measure of volume equal to 1/60th of a fluid drachm), ‘drop’, or ‘part by volume’. If the symbols are not displayed correctly, try using a different font or a different browser, or click on ‘minim’, ‘drachm’ or ‘ounce’ to see images of what they look like. Roman numerals x, v, i and j (i and j both represent 1) indicate the quantities associated with these symbols.
Various inconsistencies of spelling and hyphenation occur throughout the text; some are simple typographical errors but most are probably variations attributable to the book's multiple authorship. Words with variable spellings that occur with similar frequency (e.g. trocar / trochar, aneurism / aneurysm) have not been changed, but most other spelling inconsistencies have been ‘corrected’ to the predominant form (e.g. Caesarian --> Caesarean, turbinate --> turbinal). Omitted letters have been corrected by inserting the missing letters in square brackets (e.g. sella turc[ic]a). Simple typos such as uretha (urethra) and polpyus (polypus) have been corrected silently, and likewise with missing punctuation such as commas omitted from the index and the table of contents. An apostrophe is used inconsistently with the proper noun Bruening or Bruenings.
Inconsistencies of spacing and hyphenation have been treated similarly. For example, spaces have been removed from the abbreviations i.e. e.g. and from percentage values. Compound nouns that occur equally often with/without hyphens, have not been changed, e.g. bone forceps / bone-forceps, attic wall / attic-wall, whereas those that are more often either hyphenated or not hyphenated, have been standardised accordingly, e.g. punch forceps --> punch-forceps, heart-failure --> heart failure.

EDITOR’S PREFACE
Great as have been the advances made in Surgery during the last fifteen years, there is no direction in which they have been more noticeable than in the elaboration of those comparatively small but important details of operative technique which do so much to ensure a low mortality and a successful result.
These improvements have been developed simultaneously throughout the whole of the vast field covered by modern Surgery, and it has become increasingly difficult for any single writer to deal with such an important subject as Operative Surgery in an authoritative and efficient manner. The scope of the subject is so wide that it is difficult to ensure that the work when published shall be thoroughly up to date, while a second and even greater difficulty is for any one, however great his ability and experience, to deal equally exhaustively and authoritatively with all of the many branches of which he would have to treat.
To avoid both of these difficulties and thus to make sure that the work shall reflect faithfully the present position of British Operative Surgery, the plan has been adopted of securing the co-operation of a number of prominent British Surgeons. Each writer deals with a branch of the subject in which he has had special experience, and upon which, therefore, he is entitled to speak with authority.
Besides the two important points just referred to, a third equally important one has been kept in view throughout. Particular care has been taken to make the work of as much practical utility to the reader as possible. Not only are the various operations described in the fullest detail and with special reference to the difficulties and dangers and the best methods of overcoming and avoiding them, but the indications for the individual operations are described at length, and the after-treatment and results receive adequate notice.
It is therefore hoped that the work will be useful alike to those who are about to operate for the first time, and to those surgeons of experience who desire to keep themselves informed as to the progress that has been made in the various branches of Operative Surgery.
The division of the work into a number of sections each written by a different author, necessarily involves some overlapping of subjects and some diversity of opinion upon points of technique. Efforts have been made to prevent overlapping of subjects as far as possible by care in their distribution and by conference between the authors concerned, but no attempt has been made to harmonize conflicting views. Each author supports his individual opinions by the weight of his authority, and any discrepancies may be taken to represent the absence of unanimity on various minor points that is well known to exist among surgeons of
