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.
From accompanying notes: 'As it were not possible to demonstrate adequately at one single operation, the three stages of the procedure, ie. 'The Surgery of Approach: the surgery of Excision and the surgery of repair', shots from two separate operations were combined to construct this film.' More extensive notes concerning this procedure are in the donor file in the Moving Image and Sound Collection departmental files.
