چکیده
scalp wound properly cleansed, antiSepticised and drained, represents in a highest degree the possibilities of good surgery," writes Donald J. Armour; "a scalp wound improperly cared for, covered with hair and matted blood, and its extent undetermined, represents one of the worst forms of surgical neglect."
