Excerpt from Acute Abdominal Diseases: Including Abdominal Injuries and the Complications of External Hernia

During our periods of office as Resident Assistant Surgeon and Resident Assistant Physician respectively to St. Thomas's Hospital, we had an unique opportunity of seeing, and in many cases of treating, a very large number of acute abdominal conditions. In this book we have endeavoured to set forth the results of our experiences, and our object has been to discuss, compare and contrast all the various acute diseases and injuries to which the abdomen and its contents are liable, treating these conditions from the point of view of both physician and surgeon. We are not acquainted with any single book written on these lines, though the surgical aspect of the subject has been effectively dealt with by Mr. Battle in his admirable Lectures on the Acute Abdomen, recently published in book form. We would here acknowledge the valuable help which we have obtained from the numerous text-books and monographs which we have consulted during the preparation of this book.
