Notes

More material relating to the Graves Medical Audiovisual Library is in the Wellcome Library reference SA/GMR.
One of several films created as a result of the research work carried out by F. T. (Frederick Thomas) Graves between 1952 and 1986 at University College Hospital, Kings College Hospital and Staffordshire General Infirmary. F. T. Graves was the brother of John Graves (1923-1980) who set up the Graves Medical Audiovisual Library with his wife Valerie.
The positive material is a rush print.
From accompanying notes: 'Unfortunately due to the difficulty of access most of the 'action' ie. the dissection of the cystic duct and artery from the common bile duct takes place in the lower left corner of the picture. - The closure of the abdominal wall (paramedian incision) in layers is however very well shown. This film suitably edited might be used in combination with shots from other cases.'
