Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Practitioner, Vol. 35 Surgery, and more especially that branch of it, abdominal surgery, in which my friends Sir Spencer Wells, Lawson Tait, and others have of late years achieved such signal successes, has for a long time almost ceased to come within the range of my professional work; and, indeed, abdominal surgery has become one of the most legitimate of specialities; but there is a class of cases belonging to the border land of medicine and surgery to which special circumstances have of late years directed my attention. I refer to cases of ascites calling for relief by "tapping." It was certainly the practice once, and I believe it is still largely the case, to defer this operation too long, and only resort to it as a mere palliative measure, in order to give a few hours or days of respite from the suffering to which the presence of so much fluid in the abdomen naturally gives rise. I have witnessed a large number of cases of cardiac, renal, and hepatic dropsy in which all the ordinary routine treatment by drugs, hot-air baths, &c., failed to arrest, by a single hour, the onward march of the disease and its accompaniments; where a labouring heart, a cirrhosed liver or disorganised kidney, had its difficulties intensified by the mere hydrostatic pressure of a great mass of fluid distending the peritoneal cavity.
