| Summary | "A Treatise on Gunshot Wounds" by Sir T. Longmore is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the nature, treatment, and historical context of gunshot wounds, offering insights relevant to military surgery. The book addresses both the mechanics of injuries caused by modern fire-arms and the evolution of surgical techniques used to treat such wounds. The opening of the treatise establishes the foundation for understanding gunshot wounds, defining them as injuries from projectiles propelled by explosive force. Longmore highlights the historical significance of these wounds and outlines the evolution of surgical practice in response to gunshot injuries over the years. He notes that early surgical treatments were often misguided due to a lack of understanding about the nature of gunpowder-inflicted injuries. The text emphasizes the need for improved practices as weapon technology advanced, setting the stage for a more detailed exploration of the various types of gunshot wounds and their treatment methods that follow in the subsequent chapters.
