A SMALL BLIND TUBE

The Mermiform Appendix’and Its

™ ’ y
PROBLEM OF APPENDICITIS.
The Causes of the Discase and ihe
Methods of Fighting It—The Way
" the Operation of Removal Is’ Per
formed—Disease as Old as Mankind.
‘ : Appendicitis is not a discase of mod
értr times, though its nature and meti
ods of treatment are the result of
careful observation by one of our well
known modern surgeons while engaged
in postmortem work.
It may be safe to say that appendi
citis is as old as mankind, for in
studying very old histories Wherein
are given the diagnoses of the physi
cians we read of cases of inflamma.
‘tion of the howels, intestinal disorders
‘and like aflments the symptoms of
which prove that they must kave been
appendicitis. ;
Appendicitis is inflammation of the
vermiform appendix, a small blitd
tube, averaging two and a half inches
in length and a quarter of an inch in
diameter, attached to the coecum at
its inner amd posterior part. It is
made of a very sensitive mucous mem
brane containing several glands.
The appendix is part of the digestive
tract, its funetion, it is: belleved, being
’ to lubricate that part of the intestines,
though as yet thereis no absolute
proof of this. Careful study of a child
from whom the colon has been re
moved until he ‘reaches the age of
manhood has revealed no irregulari
ties of any nature.
- The causes of this disease may be
grouped under four heads—stenosis,
which means closing up; inipaction,
the entrance of foreign bodjes, not nec
essarily seeds; éxposure and injury.
In fighting this disease nature takes
three methods of disposing of the toxic
|materials—dischurging them into the
,nerltoneal cavity, sending them into
I%};e bowels and discharging them
’throug!i gn external wound. In the
first, if she discliarge be not too rapid
while the peritonéum is taking: them
liip, nature again makes an effort to
ward off the threatened danger by
" walling the poisoncus matters in, thus
jocallzliip them and sb aiding the phy
giclan or surgeon in his work., If,
however, the discharge be sudden, ad
is the case when the mass bursts, the
whole of the peritongum becomes in
volved, whici is called septic:perito
nitis, and this is genetally fatal
After the diagnosis has revenled the
dlisease the doctor decides whether the
case be one for medicine or external
treatment or for separation., In the
latter case the greatest of care is de
manded, as sonictimes an immediate
operation is necessary, while at other
times.Jt must be delayed, often for
hours, .unt{l the conditioh of the pa
tient-has been brought to that point at
which the surgeon can feel it is safe to
go ahead. - .
The operation determined upon, the
most careful arrangements to secure
perfect antisepsis are made, and the
patient is placed in a full state of an
aesthesia.
The operating surgeon then draws
dn imaginary line from the navel to
the anterior superior spine of the right
hip bone, dividing that line into three
parts. Under the inner side of the
middie third the appendix in normal
cases ‘will be found, though in rare
cases it has been found on the left side
and in extremely rare cases otlierwise
displaced. :
Having satisfied himself of the exact
spot under which it will be found, an
incision from two to five inches long
is made in the skin. (Some of the best
surgeons pride .themselyes on the
smallness of their incisions in this op
eration) The fatty tissues are then
cit through, the small blood vessels
are secured, and then the ‘muscular
walls of the abdomen are separated,
bringing into view the peritoneum.
This is a serous secretive lining com
posed of two layers. On cutting
through this the edges of both layers
are clamped so as to enable the sur
geon to reunite them when the opera
tion shall have been completed. '
The intestines ‘are mow visible, and
the affected section is very tenderly
drawn through:the opening, where the
nature and extent of the infection are
made known. towels meistened

word ‘“tenderiy” fhamcterizén-' the
whole of this operation, as the surgeont
must be.more than careful to prevent
any rupture of the appendix, forshould
this happen while he:is operating the

The mesentery, a large vessel adjoin«|
ing the appendix, is next ligated, and
then the colon is tied off, after which
the diseased organ 18 tut away. The
stump is pushed back into the intes
tine and the ligature is tightly drawn,
this to prevent the forming of a pouch.

the intestine 1s replaced, the odm
the peritoneum are carefully approxi
mated and the muscular walls, fatty
tissue and skin : brought Rogethier
by subcutaneods and cuteneous su
turea.
In tHe majority of cases, nd com
plications ensuing, the patient is ready
for discharge in two weeks.—James M.
