Translation of al-Maqa lah fi al- amal bi-al-yad, which forms the 30th treatise of al-Tasri f li-man ajiza an al-ta li f. Albucasis Abu 'I-Qasim Khalaf ibn 'Abbas al-Zahrawi, one of the greatest of Arabic surgeons and physicians. Bornin Cordova, in Islamic Spain, he became one of the most influential of all medical writers at the time, both in Arabic-speaking countries and in the Latin West. His treatises were gathered together into an encyclopaedia al-Tasrif and this particular one (the 30th) on surgery was of enormous importance.
