Description
In this book, Sir William Wilde (1815-1876) presents the procedure for the "Wilde incision" used in treating mastoiditis. The procedure involved an incision in the swelling behind the ear, and it became the chosen care for three decades.
As a clinician, Wilde played a significant role in advancing otology. This writing brought him acclaim by the time he was 38 years of age and by the time he was 40, he was internationally known and was responsible for training physicians from America as well as Europe. He also invented instruments such as specula, the aural snare, and dressing forceps. It is thought that angulated instruments were his invention.
