Book Overview

""Lithotomus Castratus"" is a book written by Robert Houstoun in 1723 that examines and critiques the work of William Cheselden, a surgeon who developed a surgical technique for removing bladder stones called the ""high operation."" Houstoun argues that Cheselden's method, which involved making a deep incision in the perineum and removing the stone from the bladder, was actually a modified version of an earlier technique developed by James Douglas called ""lithotomia douglassiana."" Houstoun provides a detailed analysis of the two methods, comparing their effectiveness, safety, and potential complications. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of surgery, particularly the development of techniques for treating bladder stones.Under Another Title, In A Letter To John Arbuthnot, With An Appendix.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
