Excerpt from Diseases of the Gall-Bladder and Bile-Ducts
The present volume is a reproduction of the lectures which, as Hunterian Professor, I had the honour of delivering at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1897. The views enunciated are the result of many years of observation on a class of cases to which until lately too little attention had been paid.
Thanks to my medical colleagues on the staff of the General Infirmary at Leeds, and to my many medical friends, I have had the opportunity of seeing a very considerable number of cases of the diseases in question, and of operating on those where surgical interference was required. Perhaps not the least useful part of the work is the synopsis of a consecutive series of operations performed on the gallbladder and bile-ducts, which, for convenience of reference, I have had placed in a tabulated form at the end of the volume.
I am fortunately able to state that I have never lost a single patient after any operation for gall-stones in the absence of malignant disease, deep jaundice, or infective cholangitis, and it will be found, on reference to the list, that cholecystotomy for gall-stones, even including the infective cholangitis and deeply-jaundiced cases, only shows a mortality of 17 percent.
