Surgical Diseases of Infants and Children (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Surgical Diseases of Infants and Children

MY Object in publishing these notes on the surgical diseases Observed in children has not been to embrace the entire domain of infantile surgery. I have wished only to sum up my views on cases which I have most frequently met with, and which particu larly served as subjects for my clinical lectures at the hopital des Enfants from 1840 to 1860. I have wished to make known the results Of my practice, and to point out both my successes and my reverses. If I have omitted several points, it is because I have hesitated to speak of very rare malformations, which I have scarcely ever met with, or of diseases which are very rarely Oh served in children, as aneurisms of the arteries, varix, or varico cele, Of which I have seen but one example operated upon with success by the plan Of M. Ricord. The same may be said of congenital luxations, which I have seldom seen, except luxation of the coxo-femoral articulation, that of the superior extremity Of the radius, and Of the clavicle, and a few others that I have scarcely been able to Observe sufficiently.
