This book is about the development and effect of operations, often on the abdomen, done for psychiatric symptoms and about one of the period's most distinguished surgeons, Sir William Arbuthnot Lane. He was internationally famous in three fields of surgery (facial, mastoid and abdominal), then became deeply involved in removing colons -- thought to be the 'sink' of the body and the source of dangerous infection.
