The Operations of Surgery, Vol. 2 Intended Especially for the Use of Those Recently Appointed on a Hospital Staff and for Those Preparing for the Higher Examinations (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Operations of Surgery, Vol. 2: Intended Especially for the Use of Those Recently Appointed on a Hospital Staff and for Those Preparing for the Higher Examinations

This operation should, I think be reserved for those cases (which will be very few) in which Martin s bandages cannot be applied, owing to cracks, foul ulcers, or burrowing sinuses. Here the ligature may be used after explaining its risks to the patient, but only as a subsidiary measure. The bandage will have to be used as well later, and persisted in, during the day at least, probably for life.
