Book Description
Excerpt from Fistula, Hemorrhoids, Painful Ulcer, Stricture, Prolapsus and Other Diseases of the Rectum: Their Diagnosis and Treatment Up to the year 1873 I had never introduced my hand into the male rectum believing that it was impos sible that a man's hand could be passed through the comparatively unyielding, narrow inlet to the male pelvis; but learning that the late Professor Simon, of Heidelberg, had accomplished this, I have on many occasions (my hand being small), followed his example without inflicting any injury. I do not, however, think that, at all events in a man, much aid to diagnosis is gained, the hand being so firmly compressed in the sigmoid flexure as to prevent extensive manipulation.
