Surgery in Traditional Chinese Medicine is a clinical discipline of TCM, encompassing a wide range of conditions such as sores, acute abdominal diseases, skin diseases, prostate diseases, seminal vesicle diseases, anorectal diseases, and peripheral vascular diseases. TCM surgery has its unique theoretical system in etiology, diagnosis, and treatment, particularly in treatment, where it highly values external therapeutic methods in addition to internal treatment based on syndrome differentiation. These external methods are not only innovative but also highly effective, having endured for millennia without fading. This book is divided into two parts, with a total of 12 chapters. The upper part consists of fundamental theories, introducing the scope and scientific characteristics of TCM surgery, the methods of syndrome differentiation for surgical diseases, etiology, and treatment methods. The lower part focuses on clinical applications, covering 46 types of diseases. Each disease is presented with an overview, key diagnostic points, syndrome differentiation and treatment, other therapeutic methods, and precautions. Among the other therapeutic methods, special emphasis is placed on the unique external treatments of TCM surgery, such as ointment application, immersion, string drainage, scraping with a stone knife, and padding.
