Ligation Of Arteries: An Operative Manual (1874)

Ligation of Arteries: An Operative Manual is a book written by Louis Hubert Farabeuf and first published in 1874. The book is a comprehensive guide on the surgical technique of ligating arteries, which involves tying off an artery to stop blood flow to a specific area of the body. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the anatomy of the arteries and the second part covers the surgical technique of ligating arteries. The anatomy section provides a detailed description of the arterial system, including the arteries of the head and neck, upper and lower extremities, and the thorax and abdomen. The surgical technique section provides step-by-step instructions for ligating arteries in various parts of the body, including the carotid, femoral, and brachial arteries. The book includes detailed illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding the surgical technique. The author also provides his own personal experiences and observations on the procedure, including tips and tricks for success. Ligation of Arteries: An Operative Manual is a valuable resource for surgeons and medical professionals who perform arterial ligation procedures. It is also a historical document, providing insight into the surgical practices of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
