Keen's Surgery

چکیده
To those who are familiar with the first two volumes of this magnificent work no recommendation will be required to induce their, to buy the recently issued volumes. Volume III deals with the surgery of the head, neck, thorax, peritoneum, liver, etc. It opens with an article on the surgery of the head by Harvey Cushing of Baltimore, in which the most advanced views on the subject are ably put forward ; for instance, operative interference is advocated in certain cases of intracerebral hemorrhages which have previously been regarded as beyond the range of surger}7. Special emphasis is rightly laid on the great importance of an early decompression operation in cases of progressive unlocalised cerebral tumours. The author takes a more sanguine view of the benefit likely to result from operative interference in cases of epilepsy than is usual among other writers. In the article on the nose one is surprised to find that injection of paraffine is strongly recommended in case of deformity, in spite of the very unpleasant consequences that have been recorded by those who have taken up the treatment. The author insists on the necessity of using solid paraffine injected by a special syringe, the needle being directed towards the tip of the nose and pressure being maintained
