[different publisher from other printing: New York, W. Wood] Information not given with the other version: One of the most important American contributions to surgery in the 19th. C. One of the members of the Harvard medical dynasty, Warren trained under the leading surgeons of Europe. He devised an innovative operation for fissure of the hard and soft palates. A full account of this operation is given in this book, in which he refers to 100 operations of such fissures performed by him. This volume is especially significant for the insight it provides into American surgery in the Civil War era.
