Excerpt from The Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science, Vol. 48: August and November, 1869Owing to the way 111 which the tumour overlapped the iliac artery, and the adhesions which had formed between the aneurism and the vessel, I found that any attempt to deligate the common iliac would be impracticable. Accordingly, I passed Luer's aneurism needle round the aorta just before its bifurcation, and attached to the ligature a piece of silver wire, which was then drawn round the aorta. The ends of this wire were then passed through Mr. Porter's artery compressor, and traction was made on them until all pulsation and bruit had perfectly ceased in the tumour. The ends of the wire were then secured to the ring of the clamp, and the tissues, &c., , being replaced, the edges of the wound were brought together by numerous points of interrupted silver wire suture. Strips of adhesive plaster, compresses, and ¿annel bandages were then applied, both legs were bandaged from the toes upwards with ¿annel, and the patient then removed to bed. The operation was almost bloodless.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
