✦ Synopsis
Reviews and notices of books
Some information on aetiology and pathology is included, and the clinical manifestations and the indications for surgery are referred to. The relative merits of different operations are considered, and the advice given is generally acceptable.
The book is written from the viewpoint of disease, intestinal obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, trauma, etc., and this makes it more readable than many other treatises on technique. Like other books of this series it will commend itself to all surgeons looking for practical advice on the techniques of alimentary tract surgery.
