Synopsis
Excerpt from Surgical Diseases of Children: A Modern Treatise on Pediatric Surgery
Surgical pediatrics was later and slower in its development as a special department of study and practice than medical pediatrics.
As is well known, numerous writers from the ancients down have alluded to the behavior of disease in children - the surgical occasionally, as well as the medical - and yet as late as 1846, when Coley wrote an introduction to his Practical Treatise on the Dis eases of Children, he made the following statement: I am not aware, however, that any author, British or foreign, has published a work comprehending all the diseases incident to children and their appropriate surgical, as well as medical, treatment. This omission may be accounted for by the division of the profession. Which has limited the education and practice of physicians who have hitherto been the principal or only writers on infantile dis orders.
