Conservative Surgery: As Exhibited In Remedying Some Of The Mechanical Causes That Operate Injuriously Both In Health And Disease is a medical book written by Henry Gassett Davis in 1867. The book focuses on the principles of conservative surgery, which involves the preservation of as much healthy tissue as possible during surgical procedures. Davis discusses various mechanical causes that can lead to injury and disease, including improper posture, pressure on nerves and blood vessels, and the effects of tight clothing. He argues that many surgical procedures, such as amputations and excisions, can be avoided by addressing these mechanical causes and using less invasive techniques. The book includes case studies and illustrations to demonstrate the effectiveness of conservative surgery. Davis also provides detailed instructions for various procedures, such as the treatment of hernias and the removal of tumors. Overall, Conservative Surgery is a comprehensive guide to the principles and techniques of conservative surgery, as well as a valuable resource for medical professionals and students interested in this field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
