Disease of the Pancreas; Its Cause and Nature (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... Ft(i. 2.--Calculi which in Case XXXIII. were at operation removed from the gall-bladder; compare with Fig. 12, p. 102. gall-stones. An incision was made through the skin and abdominal wall opposite the gall-bladder; the organ was stitched to the edges of the wound and opened. About fifty small calculi of almost uniform size were removed (see Fig. 21). The wound opposite the gallbladder healed slowly, and the patient made an uneventful recovery. In the preceding case acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis and consequent fat necrosis was doubtless caused by the passage of a small calculus similar to those so numerous in the gall-bladder. These stones differed but little from those which filled the gall-bladder in Case I., and were of the same uniform size. The clinical history makes it probable that similar calculi had been repeatedly expelled previous to the attack for which operation was performed, but impaction in the diverticulum of Vater had failed to occur. Removal of those still present in the gall-bladder offered the best assurance of immunity from subsequent attacks. Symptoms of Chronic Pancreatitis.--Chronic pancreatitis is rarely accompanied by such definite symptoms that its recognition is possible during life. In most instances a considerable part of the parenchyma is undestroyed, and is capable of performing, in part at least, the functions of the gland. Hence chronic pancreatitis may be unaccompanied by glycosuria or by any disturbance of digestion. Since chronic pancreatitis usually accompanies grave disturbances of the stomach, duodenum, or bile passages, symptoms of the primary disorder are predominant and hinder recognition of the pancreatic lesion. On the other hand, disease of neigh boring organs may suggest the presence...
