Shillong Dispensary.—Case of Ovariotomy
نویسنده
چکیده
A small lightly-built woman rather pallid, but free from scorbutic taint. Both legs oedematous as far as knees. Skin of lower part of abdomen also much thickened by oelema. The girth of belly round umbilicus was 43 inches. Length from ensifonn cartilage to symphysis pubis 25 inches. (Since the operation these measurements have been reduced to (1) girth round umbilicus 23^ inches, (2) from ensifonn caviibiue to pubis 14). The abdomen gave one the idea that it contained an enormous sessile tumour, inasmuch as it projected over the lumbar region on both sides and over the pubis below. At 10-30 a.m. on 11th September, the bowels having been cleared by an enema in the early morning, she was placed on the operating table and was put under the influence of chloroform. I deferred the operation until after breakfast for the sake of the increased temperature. The temperature of the air at tbis hour was 73?F.
