Liber VII

PROOEMIUM
 [p. 470] sit, quod unicum est. Igitur inter sanam vitiatamque partem incidenda scalpello caro usque ad os est sic, ut neque contra ipsum articulum id fiat, et potius ex sana parte aliquid excidatur quam ex aegra relinquatur. Ubi ad os ventum est, reducenda ab eo sana caro et circa os subsecanda est, ut ea quoque parte aliquid os nudetur; deinde id serrula praecidendum est quam proxime sanae carni etiam inhaerenti: ac tum frons ossis, quem serrula exasperavit, levandus est, supraque inducenda cutis, quae sub eiusmodi curatione laxanda est, ut quam maxime undique os contegat. Quo cutis inducta non fuerit, id linamentis erit contegendum, et super id spongia ex aceto deliganda. Cetera postea sic facienda, ut in vulneribus, in quibus pus moveri debet, praeceptum est (V.26.27B).
