Much more remains of the work of Forbes Rintoul, who carried this book through another four editions after Eric Farquharson’s death. This is now the tenth edition of Operative Surgery and all those who contributed to previous editions will still find some of their writing or illustrations within it. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is usually combined with a therapeutic manoeuvre, such as the placement of a stent in biliary obstruction, or with sphincterotomy and extraction of stones from the biliary tree.

First published in 1954, Farquharson's Textbook of Operative General Surgery has become firmly established as a classic textbook for trainee surgeons throughout the world. New contributing authors in the subspecialties of general surgery bring their own particular expertise to the book. Where a vessel is divided inadvertently or a clip or stapler fails, prompt control of the resulting haemorrhage is needed to maintain a good view of the operative field, and it is important that any instruments required are available quickly.A non-absorbable nylon or Prolene subcuticular suture avoids the tissue reaction associated with vip. Increasing technical sophistication has allowed a range of diathermy settings to include various blends of coagulation and cutting modes.

In all of these an endoluminal stent can be placed across the obstruction, under image control by the radiologist, although for some stents additional endoscopy is needed.

This book does not indicate whether a particular treatment is appropriate or suitable for a particular individual. However, the pressure of the artery forceps left on for a minute or two and then released may be sufficient for a small vessel, but there is a danger of bleeding restarting later.When using bipolar diathermy the vessel is held in the diathermy forceps and the current passes from one point of the forceps to the other, coagulating and sealing the vessel held between them.

can be tied by the surgeon, and the resulting loop introduced through a port with the long end of the ligature remaining on the outside. McAnena MCh, FRCSI National University of Ireland and Gastrointestinal Surgeon at University Hospital Galway Galway, Ireland S. Farquharson, also from Edinburgh, repaired this deficiency with his textbook containing over a thousand figures. Adjacent vital structures are also delineated and a drain can safely be inserted under image control.
