Book Description
This book is both a lively introduction and a guidebook to those pioneers, most of them surgeons, who attempted to help their patients by extending the boundaries of their own knowledge and experience. Before Pasteur and list, surgery from the oesophagus to the anal canal was extremely dangerousdue to ignorance of the causes of infection. Until the advent of anaesthesia in 1846 such surgery was limited to the superficial, for example, drainage of abscesses, the reduction of hernias and, sometimes, their repair. Contemporary surgery is the product of the insights and accomplishments of our historical mentors of the subsequent 150 years. In the 16 chapters of the book, an international group of authors have provided something of value to all those with an interest in surgical gastroenterology. Medical students and young trainees will come to understand the principles behind modern gastrointestinal surgery. ... Read more
