Excerpt from Diseases of the Pancreas and Their Surgical Treatment
It is only within recent years that any material progress in regard to our knowledge of the functions and diseases of the pancreas has been made. The admirable works of Korte and Oser, the fruitful researches of Opie and others into the functions and significance of the islands of Langerhans, the observations lately made as to the causation and treatment of acute and chronic pancreatitis, - have all attracted much attention from the profession, and have excited a keener interest in the pathology and treatment of the diseases of this gland.
The publication of a work dealing with the surgical aspects of pancreatic disease may therefore be held to have a twofold object: to record and to review the work done in the past, and to indicate, so far as is possible, the scope and trend of future research. This has been our intention, and these have been our aims in the present work; and though we recognize fully its incompleteness, we venture to think that this is, in no small measure, inevitable in the present state of our knowledge.
