Diseases of the Intestines; A Text-Book for Practitioners and Students of Medicine (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. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...minute. According to Allingham crushing is a very satisfactory method of removing internal jriles. 6. Thermo-cautery (Paquelin) and Galvano-cautery. Langenbeck introduced the method of operating upon piles by means of thermo-cautery. Each pile is seized with a volsellum forceps and drawn well down. The clamp is then applied so as to embrace its base. The portion above the clamp is cut off with a pair of scissors and the cauteryiron, heated to a dull red heat, is reieatedly applied to the stump until all the vessels are well seared. Instead of using the Paquelin, galvano-cautery may be applied for the removal of hemorrhoids, the technique being identical with the former. Bardeleben and also Kosenheim strongly recommend the latter method. 1 Allingham: "Diseases of the Rectum," 1896, p. 153. 7. Extirpation of Hemorrlioids, followed by Suture. This method was first introduced by von Esmarch1 in Germany and by Whitehead in England. It is not, however, extensively used as it is quite complicated, besides giving rise to many disagreeable complications. Thus Allingham has noticed the following sequels of such an operation: 1. Anal stricture. 2. Loss of sensation and control over the anus. 3. Irritation of the mucous membrane due to frequent discharges of mucus and at times accompanied by bleeding.

Graser2 is of the opinion that such patients are better off when having a free movement shortly after the operation. He administers soon after its performance a small dose of castor oil and instructs the patient to have an evacuation while in a warm sitz bath. Cleansing of the...
