The abdomen was long the surgeon's most dangerous frontier. This fourth volume of Burghard's system details the major operations of the belly: opening the cavity, and surgery of the ovaries, described procedure by procedure with expert contributors. A detailed manual from the era when abdominal surgery came of age. Enter the operating theater at a turning point in the craft.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
