| Summary |
"Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery" by Frederick Strange Kolle is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a comprehensive treatise on the techniques, history, and practices involved in plastic and cosmetic surgery, examining the importance of this surgical specialty during its time. The book is likely to attract readers interested in medical practices, especially those related to surgical restoration and aesthetic enhancement. The beginning of the book outlines the author's motivations for creating an authoritative resource on plastic surgery, addressing the scattered and limited literature available on the subject. He emphasizes the practical aspects of the field, with a focus on procedures like skin-grafting and electrolysis, while also reflecting on the historical context of plastic surgery dating back to ancient times. The opening also hints at the significant advancements that antiseptic techniques and modern surgical methods have brought to the practice, laying a foundation for the detailed explorations that follow in subsequent chapters.
