New Elements of Operative Surgery, Vol. 3 Of 3

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Elements of Operative Surgery, Vol. 3 of 3: Carefully Revised, Entirely Remodelled, and Augmented With a Treatise on Minor Surgery While touching on this matter, we may remark, that in a case of this kind, and as an auxiliary to the screw-lever of Dr. Mott, the right masseter muscle was totally divided, and the left partially so, as early as the year 1840, by James R. Wood, M. D. Of this city. Complete success, however, did not reward the bold expedient of this skilful young surgeon, which, however, might possibly have been obtained if it had occurred to him to have adopted the ingenious te source of his preceptor, Dr. Mott, by severing also the pterygoid muscles.
