Bailey & Love's Short Practice of Surgery (25th Edition)

Brief Introduction

This is the 25th and hence Silver Jubilee edition of this world famous textbook-Bailey & Love’s Short Practice of Surgery. It has stood the test of time as evidenced by increasing sales, edition by edition, a tribute to the foresight of the original authors Hamilton Bailey and McNeill Love. Both set out to produce a high quality, comprehensive textbook to be enjoyed by both undergraduates and postgraduates. Part of their magic formula was to combine clear and concise text with numerous clinical photographs collected from their own archives. Most important was the frequent use of anecdote and aphorism to highlight points of clinical relevance, further enhanced by autobiographical notes beloved by all devotees of the book. We, the editors of this auspicious edition, therefore feel a particular responsibility following in the footsteps of the original authors and our colleague editors who continued this tradition over past editions.

It is always difficult to blend the old with the new but this we have attempted to do. We present to the reader a comprehensive, modern surgical textbook which, we hope, retains the feel of the original. We have ensured that the text is liberally illustrated with high quality reproductions and line drawings. Some of Bailey and Love’s original illustrations have been retained because they capture specific points so well that we have felt obliged to keep them. Similarly the autobiographical notes remain but have been updated. We have been particularly fortunate in this endeavour in retaining the services of Dr J.G. Fairer who, as a labour of love, has spent many hours ensuring the veracity of these notes. To help the budding young surgeon faced with that heart-sinking question from their boss, ‘What instrument is that in your hand?’ followed by ‘And who was he?’, we have started a new page in the appendix which gives answers to a few of the most common queries. Let us know if you think it is useful.

Excerpts

Surgical infection, particularly surgical site infection (SSI), has always been a major complication of surgery and trauma and has been documented for 4000–5000 years. The Egyptians had some concepts about infection as they were able to prevent putrefaction, testified by mummification skills. Their medical papyruses also describe the use of salves and antiseptics to prevent SSIs. This ‘prophylaxis’ had also been known earlier by the Assyrians, although less well documented. It was described again independently by the Greeks. The Hippocratic teachings described the use of anti-microbials, such as wine and vinegar, which were widely used to irrigate open, infected wounds before delayed primary or secondary wound closure. A belief common to all these civilisations, and indeed even later to the Romans, was that, whenever pus localised in an infected wound, it needed to be drained.
