Excerpt from The Complete Handbook of Obstetric Surgery: Or Short Rules of Practice in Every Emergency, From the Simplest to the Most Formidable Operations Connected With the Science of Obstetricy; With Numerous Illustrations The fact that a third edition of this "Manual of Obstetric Surgery" has been called for is sufficient proof of its general utility. The present volume has been carefully revised, considerably enlarged, and contains additional illustrations. It is hoped that in its present form it will prove a truthful guide to young practitioners, as well as a pocket companion and remembrancer to those of more advanced experience. I have considered it would be advantageous to treat the operative portion of obstetricy apart from the general system; and carrying out that portion of the subject more fully, and I hope more efficiently, taking into account every known operation, from the simple section of the umbilical cord and passing of the catheter, to the more highly important and formidable operations of the Caesarian section and gastrotomy.
