SKILLFUL SURGERY-A DR.. Bella N. Ste
VEINS, of the United States Marine Hospital in
Boston, recently performed skillful surgical
operation, which was attended with the most
gratifying result. He removed a cancer from
the eye of a patient, in doing which he made
an incsion, depriving the eye Of portion of
the lower lid. This loss he supplied by rails
ing piece of the cuticle of the face directly
below the deficiency, and placing it in contact
with the raw flesh, and succeeded in producing
another eyelid, minus the eyelashes. Such an
operation is exceedingly rare, and even when
performed, is attended with great hazard to the
sight.
We take the above from the Boston Journal
of the 18th inst Sometime SINCE DR.. Rivers,
of this city, operated on a young man from
Pawtucket, who, when a child had the mis-
fortune to fall into the fire, burning his face to
such degree, that the lower eyelid was entire
ly destroyed with the exception Of the edge
from which grew the lashes. After the wound
had healed, this edge had united to the face
something like an inch from the eye, so that
from the time Of the injury to the time Of the
operation, (about fifteen years he had never
been able to close the eye, leaving it exposed
to dust and dirt from all quarters, He applied
to DIR. Rivers, who carefully cut the edge of
the lid from its adhesion to the face, then re-
moving the whole of the old scar transplanted
a piece of skin and flesh of the shape of the
lid from the cheek into the new wound, to
which he stitched it below, and to the portion
containing the eyelashes above; thus forming
a new lid which healed in few days, and per-
formed all the functions of the natural one
which had been lost so many years.-PrOUi-
