Synopsis

Excerpt from A Manual of Operative Surgery

This is applicable to small sinuses and fistula, to narrow linear and spindle-shaped gaps or fissures, and to such defects as the simpler forms of hare-lip. The margins of the fissure or opening are freshened by removing the integument which covers them. The strip of skin to be removed is grasped and steadied with fine-toothed forceps, while the strip is severed with a narrow scalpel or sharp-pointed tenotome. The portion removed should include not only the skin but also the subcutaneous tissues, and must be so free that the raw edges which are to be united are made out of sound and vascular structures. The edges of the fresh wound are carefully cleaned, bleed ing is checked by the pressure of a sponge, and the margins are approximated by fine silkworm gut or silk sutures. It is often well to leave the wound open for a while, to allow time for any bleeding to cease before the sutures are finally adjusted. In the case of larger gaps, or of fissures in dense tissues, tension may be relieved by undermining the margins of the wound for a certain distance with the scalpel (subcutaneous detachment). If this be not sufficient, two parallel incisions may be made upon either side of the cleft, as shown in Fig. 221.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
