Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Origin and Progress of Renal Surgery, With Special Reference to Stone in the Kidney and Ureter and to the Surgical Treatment of Calculous Anuria: Together With a Critical Examination of Subparietal Injuries of the Ureter When my colleagues in the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons did me the honour to appoint me Hunterian Professor of Surgery and Pathology for the year 1898, I had, in the first place, intended to give my personal experience of the several different renal affections which it has been my lot to treat surgically during the seventeen years which have elapsed since my first operation of nephrolithotomy. But when I came face to face with my task I found that to do so would necessitate a very cursory survey of a considerable number of subjects. I therefore preferred to arrange in tabular form a brief abstract of 267 operations which I have performed upon the kidney up to the first week of March of 1898; and to limit the lectures themselves to calculous disorders. I have also collected a number of cases in which operations have been done for calculous anuria, and have devoted a large part of the third lecture to that subject; feeling - and I believe rightly - that too little is known by the profession generally about this form of anuria, and still less about the advantages which the surgical treatment of it affords.
