The Surgical Clinics during the 1920s.
In the 1920s the Surgical Clinics became an established feature of American surgery. Five articles from the Clinics of this period are reproduced here. The articles provide a cross section of that era's surgical thoughts. The articles are William James Mayo's "Splenic Syndromes"; George W. Crile's "The Factors that Govern the Surgical Mortality of Operations for Hyperthyroidism"; Frank H. Lahey's "Modern Conceptions and Management of Biliary Tract Disease"; Allen B. Kanavel and Sumner L. Koch's "Preoperative and Postoperative Care of Patients"; and W. Wayne Babcock's "Operative Decompression of Aortic Aneurysm by Carotid-Jugular Anastomosis".
