rREArMENr OF APPENDICITIS.


A somewhat prevailing notion that the
trouble called appendicitis is a menace
TO life. but that the operation for its
relief Ia greater menace, is considered
by paper puolished in the current issue
of the Atlantic Medical Weekly in
which, as iaymen, we discover that the
popular notion referred to Is shared in
and supported by the MEDICAL branch Of
the profession as distinguished from the
surgical branch.
IL appears from this interesting and
valusble paper that the physician or the
general practitioner is prone to the faith
that "doctoring" as commonly under
stood is as generally effective in the
treatment OF appendicitis as the use OF
the knife, and, besides, has as an added
advantage that, at ell events, the patient
cannot die from ths medicine admin ister-
ed rs he may be killed by the surgical
treatment when he otherwise might sur
vive the original trouble. There appears
TO be abundant evidence OF cases success
fully treated without the knife, and
confusion Of statistics MS TO the percent
age OF cures and OF fatal results under
eacb sind OF treatment, with the fatalities
estimated as due to the knife and not to
the disease also tasen account of. IL is
the purpose OF the writer of the paper in
sndeavor to make a summing up on one
side or the other.
The writer rnds accordingly a verdict
in favor OF the surgical treatment, his
deductions going to show that while only
20 per cent. OF appendicitis cases not
operated on die sooner or later, of the
surviving large majority about one-haif
are subject TO recurrence, pains and dis
abilities In consequence. On the other
hand, in competent hands the mortality
In cases operated on in the interval and in
clean cases operated early, is not more
than two per cent. and "that in operated
cases, ninety-seven or ninety-eigbt
per cent. are entirely cured" Or to ex-
rress the case in another way. "If of
thousand consecutive cases all were
operated, and Of another thousand all
were treated medically. the mortality In
the rrst thousand would be unouestion-
ably less than in the second, and the
total cures In the frat thousand would
far outnumber the cures cures in the
second"
This is all satisfactory enough, but
as the writer admits the ever powerful
"personal equation" IL an important
factor. Whether or not med icine cures
the sufferers Of appendicitis may depend
npou the skill and knowledge OF the
practitioner and whether or not the
knife does not XIII depends upon the
skill OF the surgeon operating il. But
the writer is confident tnat as tina evil
dence now stands an early operation In
the great majority o. cases of well
marked appendicitis /, tue ideal.
