Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology, Vol. 8: February, 1899 Billroth expressed this very aptly in his introductory remarks to the students at the opening of his clinics. Study closely, he said, the history and description of cases, more than the disease; experiment, and try to gain surgical tact, and you will become better surgeons than if you carried out the procedure according to the iron rules of masters. These ideas are particularly applicable to plastic surgery. Not one case of defect of the nose is identical with another, and in no case is the method of restoration exactly like that in any other case.
