Excerpt from Umbilical Hernia: Operation, Cure, Ligation of Femoral Artery for Popliteal Aneurism: Cure, Fecal Fistula Caused by Appendicitis: Operation, Cure: Delivered at the Jefferson Medical College Hospital, April 6, 1892A large fiat pad of gauze being placed under the opening, I am now ready to introduce the stitches. In doing so great care must be exercised that the intestine is not injured, the gauze pad is here a great help, while at the same time it absorbs the blood caused by the punctures. I have now closed the peritoneal cavity and shall next dissect out and remove most of the sac. You see how corded its internal surface is from the presence of connective-tissue fibers. I also remove a large piece of redundant skin and am now ready to close the wound. In doing so, I include in the sutures the bor ders of what is left of the sac, which will tend to fix it more firmly and so prevent any recurrence of the hernia.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
