A DEFINITE PLAN
It takes the embryo surgeon
himself a long time to under
stand it. But when he does and
has had some experience he sees
that the surgeons who planned
TO repair hernia worked out a
perfectly logical and sensible
method.
When the modern surgeon
starts 10 repair a hernia by op-
Grafton. he has a definite and
complete plan in mind-a plan
which even takes into account
the complications he may find
and he proceeds in his operation,
step by step, exactly along the
lines proposed for himself in the
beginning.
Doctor Benmosche gives
clear and understandable ac-
count of this plan and of the
logic of the steps. The illustra-
tions used clarity beautifully the
textual explanation. Incident
ally. he discusses very sensibly
the question of injection versus
operation treatment of hernia.
