TREPHINING FOR EXTRA-DURAL HAEMORRHAGE.1

Extra-dural analgesia in obstetrics and gynaecology.

There are many advantages to be derived from the use of extra-dural block in obstetrics and gynaecology. In the past many anaesthetists have been reluctant to make use of the method owing to the difficulty in accurately locating the extra-dural space, but with advances in technique this has been overcome and there has been a great increase in the use of this form of analgesia in recent years.

MANY complications following corneal grafting procedures may be attributed to the technical and biological problems associated with this type of surgery. It is generally agreed that accurate apposition of the graft to the margin of the incision in the recipient cornea is of the greatest importance. Manual trephining for penetrating keratoplasty frequently results in badly cut grafts, and for th...

Sclero-Corneal Trephining for Staphyloma

The cases were not selected, my object being first to satisfy myself that reduction of a staphyloma could be effected by establishing free filtration between the aqueous,...

Non communicating extra dural meningeal cyst in dorsal spine

Although the CSF communication due to this defect can be found in most case, few cases in which there is a lack of the communication have also been reported. We repo...
