Pagina 52 - ... closing the wound I insufflate iodoform between the raw surfaces, as it checks any tendency to sanguineous oozing, and facilitates primary union. For the purpose of suturing the mucous membrane to the skin, I always employ carbolized silk, and never take out the stitches, as they come away of themselves. Indeed, after the operation, there is no real necessity ever to look at or touch the parts again. Whilst the patient is still on the table, I introduce into the rectum a suppository containing...
Pagina 52 - ... brought below the margin of the skin. The mucous membrane above the hemorrhoids is now divided transversely in successive stages, and the free margin of the severed membrane above is attached, as soon as divided, to the free margin below by a suitable number of silk sutures, after the hemorrhage has been arrested by torsion.
