Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores inflammatory affections originating in the right iliac fossa, with a focus on caecum and appendix disease. The author, drawing upon clinical experience and dissections, discusses four distinct varieties of allied disorders and the importance of distinguishing between them. The book presents evidence that perityphlitic abscesses are extraperitoneal and should not be confused with intraperitoneal abscesses, emphasizing the dangers of cutting into the peritoneal cavity when incising them. The author also delves into the question of the best time to operate on these abscesses, arguing against early operations and advocating for postponing mechanical procedures to avoid harming the peritoneum. The book further highlights the need for early operations in cases of perforative peritonitis due to appendix perforation and discusses the benefits of laparotomy as the ideal method of exposing and dealing with the appendix. Ultimately, the book stresses that diseases originating in the caecum or appendix are surgical cases from the beginning and should be managed by surgeons to ensure timely and appropriate intervention.
