Publ WIRE STAPLE
FROM MANS BODY
su a6E&N PERFORMS UNUSUAL
OPERATION UPON The
LUNGS
Instrument Called 5ronehoscope In.
trodueed in Throat.

While at work on his farm Kan
sas man oayelessly put a wire staple
into his mouth. Il was staple such
as f. commonly used in building wire
fences. about an inch in length. half
inch in breadth. and having TWO sharp
pointed ends.
Something occurred to make him
start suddenly and the staple was
drawn down his windpipe. Il went
down with the points uppermost. fin
ally lodging. as X.ray photographs
later revealed, IN the lower lobe OF
the right lung.
Local physicians were unable to re-
move the intruder. and so. two weeks
after the accident the farmer Went
to Pittsburg 10 consult Dr.. Cheyalier
jackson, a surgeon who had had con
siderable success in solving similar
problems,
Dr. Jackson, by an operation more
difficult than any OF this kind yet per
formed, succeeding in removing the
staple, not only without injury to the
mans lung, but without shedding I
drop Of blood. His account of the
achievement az given in the Journal
OF the American Medical association.
Is an excellent example of the pa
thence and ingenuity which spells
success for the modern surgeon.
The first step was the making OF
series of X.ray photographs of the
lung. These showed that the staple
had worked down by ratchet-like
movement deep into the lung Every
breath favored its going still deeper,
but was powerless to force the intrud-
er back because of the immediate
catching OF one or both the points.
An instrument called broncho-
scope was introduced down the pa
tents throat and into the lung This
revealed the staple tightly wedeed in
the smallest lung passage It could en-
ter and with both points concealed In
swollen mucous membrane To pull
on such a body would mean the rip
ping of the bronchial wall and certain
death to the patient, and the metal
was too tough to be bent, sprung or
broken, as is often done with safe
ty pin.
Working the body slightly down
ward with forked rod passed
through the bronchoscope, the points
were liberated The staple was slight
ly rotated with forceps so as to
bring the points in new places. With
