PROGRESS IN SURGERY.
Wonderful Improvements Within the Lass
Half Century.

Formerly one Of the most dangerous
operations known was the removal OF
gOitres. writes distinguished surgeon in
Harper's Magazine. Hemorrhage, In
flammation and blood poisoning destroyed
q very large number Of such cases, and
when Kocher Of Berns, In 1882, reported
fifty-eight operations with mortality Of
l4.3 per cent, 1t was deemed triumph.
But improved methods Of operation re-
duced the mortality until, In 1884, he ne
ported forty-three more operations, with
only a mortality of 60 per cent, and IN
1880 he has Just reported 250 additional
operations, and all but six patients recov-
ered-a mortality Of but "a per cent, or,
If we exclude tho twenty-five cases Of
cancer, which gave four Of the. deaths,
we have 225 cases and only two deaths, .
mortality of but 0.S per cent.
We see few cases Of severe knOck-knee
and bow-iegs in this country, but among
the lower classes of Europe they are COM
mon. Formerly almost nothing could be
done; but few years ago surgeons be.
gan to operate upon them In this way |:
Z small cut is made through the skin and
muscles down to the bone, and BY saw
or chisel the bone is divided. The limb
IL Strengthened and the casa treated OK
actly as II it were an ordinary fracture.
II heals without fever or serious pain,
and the patient is well. With modern
methods this is not . dangerous operation,
rs will be seen by the remarkable paper
read by Macewen, Of Glasgow, at the
international Medical Congress Of 1884 in
Copenhagen. when he reported 1900 ope-
rations on 1867 limbs in 704 patients, and
only five died, in spite Of the fast, too,
that most of them, from deformity In
several limbs, had to have multiple opc-
rations. Even these deaths were not due
to the operation, but followed from pnetl-
monia, typhoid fever, consumption and
diphtheria.
We have learned, too, that q portion Of
the body can be entirely severed, and II
suitably preserved, can be replaced, and
they will adhere and grow ~ 1t nothing
had happened. When wound Is slow in
healing we now take bits Of skin. either
from the patients own body or provided
by generous friends, or even from dog,
and graft them on the surface Of the
wound. They usually adhere. and
Is they enlarge at their margins
they abridge by one-half the
time required for healing. Even
large disk of bone, one or two inches in
diameter, when removed from the skull,
can be so treated. 1t is placed in q cup
filled with with q warm anti-septic solli-
ton. This cup is placed in basin Of
warm water, and it is the duty Of one
assistant to see that the thermometer In
this basin shall always mark 100 degrees
to 1O5 degrees Fahrenheit. The bone
may be separated from the skull 30 long
as one or two hours, but II properly cared
for can he replaced, and will grow fast
and fulfill its accustomed but interrupted
duty Of protecting the brain.
