✦ Synopsis


1880s, the decade which saw the start of gastric surgery, a letter from Billroth describing his first operation, performed for cancer; Wolfler describing the first gastroenterostomy, and Hacker the first resection for cancer combined with gastro-enterostomy, the forerunner of the Polya. After these come translations of works of a decade thirty years later by Polya himself, by Finisterer, and by Shoemaker. The Editors deserve our thanks for thus providing in so convenient and original a form the very fundamentals of gastric surgery. The book is of convenient size, and beautifully produced.
