| Summary | "A Short Treatise on the Section of the Prostate Gland in Lithotomy" by C. Aston Key is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. This treatise discusses the surgical procedure of lithotomy, particularly focusing on the section of the prostate gland and providing insights on performing operations safely and effectively based on the teachings of the renowned surgeon Cheselden. The work holds value in its detailed examination of the techniques and principles involved in lithotomy, reflecting the medical practices of that time. In this treatise, Key explains the methodology for conducting lateral lithotomy—the surgical removal of stones from the bladder—emphasizing the anatomical considerations necessary for a successful procedure. The author critiques the methods that diverged from Cheselden's approaches, arguing for the continued use of his principles that have proven safe and effective over time. Key introduces a new instrument design which he believes could improve the ease and safety of the procedure, enabling surgeons to make more precise incisions and thus reduce complications associated with previous techniques. Through a review of historical practices and personal observations from his medical career, Key aims to optimize outcomes for patients undergoing this painful yet necessary operation.
