Seite 321 - I pass a piece of rubber drainage tube (without any holes in it) as a loop over the fundus uteri, and bring it down so as to encircle the cervix, taking care -that it does not include a loop of intestine. I then make a single hitch and draw it tight around the cervix, so as to completely stop the circulation. I give the ends of the tube to an assistant, who keeps them well on the strain, so as to prevent the loose knot from slipping...
Seite 249 - The grafting was performed forty-eight hours after the tumor had been removed ; thirty-six hours after the nerve had been grafted, sensation had so far returned in the parts supplied by the median that the touch of a pencil could be localized. Day by day sensation became more and more distinct, until, when shown to the members of the Leeds and West...
Seite 294 - ... every part of the vesical wall contracts firmly upon it. The urethral canal is then to be similarly brushed out by another application of the carbolized glycerine.
