Scrotal Elephantiasis

چکیده
an early mpjfcality of twenty-seven per cent, in sixty-one cases of operation for Scrotal Elephantiasis reported by Fayrer Oh" referring to my published record of these cases, I obsor-ve that the total number of cases operated upon during, .the yea-s, 1859 to 1871 amounted to 193, of which 35, or a fraction over 18 per cent., proved fatal. This is befit'dr than represented by Koch's, as above quotc^; and it occurred too. as you say, iu pre-antiseptic times when septicasmas in its worst form was very frequeut and fatal iu the Medical College Hospital. I ain glad to think it is so much better now. I may add that in my time, a cord was used to restrain hasmorrhage. all affected tissue was removed, as if any were left, the disease recurred. Flaps were unnecessary ; granular cicatrization closed all in satisfactorily.
