Excerpt from Edinburgh Medical Journal, Vol. 21Since being called upon to perform the duties of temporary assistant surgeon to the Royal Infirmary, I have had exceptional opportunities, owing to the depletion of the staff, of operating on cases of this disease. I find that during the three years and nine months since the beginning of the war I have Operated on 221 cases. These cases have the merit, from the point Of view of a consideration of methods of treatment, of having been operated on within a comparatively limited space of time by the same operator and by the same methods. Almost all of these cases were operated on on the day of admission, and on going over the records I have endeavoured to exclude all cases in which a definite pathological lesion of the appendix was not demonstrated at operation. Most of the cases have been operated on in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and in Leith Hospital, and I am glad to have this opportunity of thanking my chiefs there for allowing me to treat the cases.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
