This book opens with a unique historical review of natural
amputations due to congenital absence, disease, frostbite, animal
trauma, and to punishment and ritual. The advent of surgical
amputation and its difficulties form a major part of the book,
summarising the evolution of the control of haemorrhage and
infection, pain relief, techniques, instrumentation, complications,
prostheses, results and case histories. Alternative procedures,
increasingly important in the last two centuries, are also
debated.
