Excerpt from Operative Otology: Surgical Pathology and Treatment of Diseases of the Ear
This book has been written in answer to questions asked in the class room, by the bedside, and in consultation, and is, therefore, intended for the use of the student, the general, and the special, practitioner.
As would be expected, from the character of its inception, it is rather the record of individual experience than a review of the literature of its subject, and has framed itself naturally upon those lines in which the majority of the questions have been asked, namely, the causative conditions of surgically remediable disease and the surgical measures best applicable to their treatment.
Essentially a surgical treatise, with a view to practical utility, structural descriptions have been limited to those of surgical importance, pathological conditions have been emphasized, and the detail of surgical procedure has been confined to that acceptedly applicable to the condition presented.
Two efforts have been consistently maintained throughout the work: one to present the given subject as simply as possible, the other to eliminate, as far as possible, that obstructive factor in scientific study - personal equation.
The illustrations are, mainly, original, from material at the author's command; a few are copies from original drawings, made for Professor Politzer, and placed at the authors' disposal.
