Transportation of Human Skin-Sisters of
Charity Giving Skin, Flesh, and Blood to
Save Patients Life.
An exceedingly remarkable surgical
operation has recently been completed
at st. GATHERINGS Hospital, Williams
burg. On Friday, August Sd, 1876,
while Dora Conrad, of No. $40 Mangin
street, was attending a Jenny in Water
burys bag factory, in Bushwick, her
hair, which was hanging loose, caught
in one of the spindles, and in an instant
the hair and scalp on one side of her
head were torn out. 1t was done so
quickly that she only felt tug. The
overseer took her to st. GATHERINGS
Hospital, on Bushwick avenue, where
the doctors said they could not do any
thing for her. Two days after the phys
clan in charge said, 81 can save her,
and if she can stand the operation | can
give her new scalp by transplanta-
ton"
The operation OF transplantation of
skin Is an exceedingly delicate one, and
has been but recently introduced into
surgery as remedy in cases of open
wounds. The CHASTITY injury inflicted
on Miss Conrad not only tore off the
scalp, but destroyed portion of the
periosteum. No hopes were at first en-
tertained for her recovery; but as the
days wore on her naturally good con-
stitutlon enabled granulation to begin,
and flesh commences to form. Taking
advantage of this the doctor took two
pieces from Dora's own arm, and cut
ting them in small pieces, grated them
on the periosteum, about quarter of
an inch from the line of the lower edge
of the wound, holding them in position
with small strips of plaster. In q few
days minute ramifications extended from
the sound skin, which gradually in
creased until they bridged over the
space between them, and new skin was
thus produced.
This operation was carefully repeated
during the seven months the girl lay in
the hospital, the gratis for the purpose
being freely furnished by Sister Doloro-
sa from her arms. Sister Joanna, an
other of the faithful nurses in the insti-
tuition, also furnished material for the
operation. The doctor was so skillful
in his manipulations that every piece of
skin grated took root, and the entire
skull was again covered with firm,
healthy, but hairless scalp. There are
spots bereft of feeling they are those
connecting directly with the skull, the
perosteum having been destroyed just
there. There was danger of the upper
table of the skull dying in these places,
but, fortunately, the oil dressing prevent
ed that.
The case cxcites much interest among
the surgical profession From the New
York World.
