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)
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)
