| Summary | "The Compleat Surgeon" by M. Le Clerc is a scientific publication written in the late 17th century. This comprehensive treatise on surgery offers a detailed and methodical exploration of surgical principles, anatomical knowledge, and practical techniques for various procedures. The book is designed to be accessible to young surgeons, providing foundational insights into the art of surgery, including topics such as wounds, fractures, and surgical instruments. The opening of the text introduces readers to the rationale behind the publication, emphasizing the need for a clear, concise manual amid the complex and voluminous writings on surgery from both ancient and modern authors. Le Clerc outlines the qualifications necessary for a competent surgeon, focusing on the importance of knowledge, practical experience, and a gentle touch in procedures. He begins to define the art of surgery, describing its goals and the types of operations typically performed, setting the stage for a thorough examination of surgical practices and methods in subsequent chapters.
