Excerpt from Surgical and Obstetrical Operations
The author caused to be published in 1900 a booklet entitled: "A Course in Surgical Operations by W. Pfeiffer and W. L. Williams." consisting of an authorized translation of Dr. Pfeiffer's Operations-Cursus with such changes, omissions and additions as were deemed desirable. Three years of constant use, with such criticisms as have come to the author from others, have served to point out desirable changes of so sweeping a character as to demand a practically new treatise and to render the continuance of a formal joint authorship inexpedient. The author has drawn freely upon Dr. Pfeiffer's Operations-Cursus in the preparation of the text which in many chapters is practically copied therefrom, including the illustrations, and gratefully acknowledges his profound obligations thereto. On the other hand nothing has been copied or extracted except it could be freely adopted as the author's own view, releasing Dr. Pfeiffer from all responsibility for the character of any of the contents.
The volume is primarily designed for the use of the authors classes in laboratory surgery and embryotomy in which the student performs the surgical operations described, on animals procured for the express purpo.se, under chloroform anaesthesia whenever possible, after which the subject is destroyed while still anaesthetized; at the same time it has been aimed to render the volume of the greatest possible value to the practitioner consistent with this plan. The operations included under this scheme are necessarily limited to those which can be reasonably well performed on comparatively sound animals of little value and regularly procurable for laboratory purposes. The list covers a wide range and is designed to give to the student as thorough training as is practicable in a laboratory course and includes well nigh all the more important varieties of confinement, anaesthesia, disinfection, sutures, bandaging, dressing and other adjuncts to operative work.
