Book Description

Excerpt from Bulletin of the School of Medicine, University of Maryland, Vol. 18: 1933-1934 The Operations performed at that time were not sufficiently extensive and they therefore failed to accomplish the desired result. The same criticism may even now be offered, because there are still many surgeons who do not resect sufficient lengths of ribs and, therefore, fail to collapse existing cavities. If necessary, one should do repeated operations in order to accomplish this result, for the patient is never out of danger as long as an open cavity exists.
