Talk:Halsted's principles

I noticed that this article was not referenced, and I was taught a similar but subtly different set of principles:

Gentle handling of tissues
Meticulous homeostasis
Preservation of blood supply
Strict asepsis
Minimum tension on tissues
Accurate tissue apposition
Obliteration of dead space

Is there a good general reference for Halstead's principles which could be used and clear this up?- Zephyris _Talk 11:28, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know of one, but I have a copy of William Stewart HALSTED's biography around somewhere. I suspect that the surgical principles related here are actually his precepts. I suggest that the name of the article be changed, and a link added to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stewart_Halsted

Corrected the spelling of the article's title and fixed the principles (some were wrong, some were missing.) I agree that the content of this article should be moved to the article on William Halsted (as a section in that article) and this one deleted though. It seems appropriate to moved there. I would do it, but I don't know how. Sumostorm (talk) 05:16, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
