Excerpt from Surgical Diseases of the Kidney and Ureter, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Injuries, Malformations and Misplacements; With Two Colored Plates and Upwards of Hundred Engravings
In this work an attempt is made to give a systematic account (1) of the regional anatomy, the malformations and misplacements, and the injuries and surgical diseases of the kidney and of the ureter; (2) of the affection of the perinephric and the peri-ureteral tissue; and (3) of the surgical treatment of these several conditions as recommended and practiced at the present time by those most occupied in this branch of surgery.
Though largely based upon my personal experience, the work, without pretending to be of encyclop?dic completeness, is also the outcome of long and extensive study of the writings of others.
The Transactions of the various societies, and every available journal in the English and European languages which appeared during the decade following the passing for press in November, 1884, of my Manual on the "Surgical Diseases of the Kidney" were carefully searched for articles relating to renal and ureteral surgery, and abstracts were made of all that were found.
Since 1894 the same plan has been pursued so far as was necessary to keep abreast with all that was being accomplished in this branch of surgery; but the labour became increasingly arduous owing to the bewildering rate of production of material, much of which, however, only corroborated settled opinions or previously established facts.
When writing the Manual the difficulty lay in obtaining information owing to the scantiness of material - there was barely an indication of the path to be followed.
