Keratome or knife incision for cataract; assessment of 180 cases.

DAVIEL (1753) described the first satisfactory method of cataract extraction before the Academie Royale de Chirurgie in 1752. He opened the eye with an instrument similar to the modern keratome and enlarged the incision with scissors. This method gradually displaced the ancient practice of couching until von Graefe described his cataract knife for making the incision in 1865. Von Graefe's cataract knife then remained in common use until about 10 years ago when the keratome began to regain favour. In America the keratome is now the most popular instrument, but in England the cataract knife is still in most common use. The incision is one of the biggest factors in performing a successful extraction, and it is important to try to determine which is the better method. This series of extractions was planned in an attempt to assess the relative value of using the keratome or the cataract knife for this purpose. A few series have been reported in which the results of each type of operation performed by a number of operators have been compared (Davis, 1950; Randolph and Eareckson, 1953), but this is not satisfactory because it does not eliminate the varying skills of the different operators. The skill of the operator may be a bigger factor than the type of incision used. In this series all the operations were performed by the author and ail cataract extractions performed during the period under review have been included. In an attempt to elinminate all possible variables the two methods were used alternately. This routine was broken only when operating upon the second eye of a patient when the alternative method of incision was used. In this consecutive series of 180 cataract extractions ninety were made with a cataract knife and ninety with the keratome and scissors. I intended at first to use no sutures, because a bad section can be firmly closed by accurate corneoscleral suturing and a good section can be made to gape by faulty sutures. In the first 82 cases in this series, I used conjunctival sutures in four cases only, but in the last 98 cases the conjunctival flap was closed with three or four silk sutures. No corneoscleral sutures were used because I considered they would influence the comparison of the two types of incision.

ABSCESS OF THE TEMPOROSPHENOID LOBE: A REVIEW, WITH REPORT OF A CASE COMPLICATED BY PETROSITIS

Although Hippocrates knew the dangers to the brain in aural disease, the association of aural suppuration with abscess of the brain was regarded for many centuries as purely accidental. Morgagni, in the eighteenth century, was one of the first to voice the opinion that aural suppuration was primary and abscess of the brain secondary. Previous to this, even Valsalva had regarded the abscess as primary. Morand,¹in the "Opuscules de Chirurgie" published in Paris in 1768, as quoted by Scott, published the first case report of otitic abscess of the brain, with recovery after operation. In 1873 Luther Holden,²in the St.<i>Bartholomew's Hospital Reports</i>, recorded an operative recovery from otitic abscess of the brain. After this, Gowers and Barker,³Schondorff⁴Truckenbrod,⁵Schwartze⁶and Horsley⁷reported successful operations on the brain for abscess. In a classic monograph published in 1893, Macewen⁸reported 15 cases of abscess of the brain with

LATERAL DISLOCATION OF THE WRIST JOINT

The advent of the roentgenogram has added much to the knowledge of injuries of the wrist joint and has perhaps established the fact that dislocations are rare and that apparent dislocations are due to deformities produced by fracture in the region of the wrist joint. While anterior and posterior dislocation of the wrist is met with, lateral dislocation is apparently rare. In a search of the literature we have not found a case of lateral radiocarpal dislocation. Charles Scudder, in a personal communication, stated that he did not recall having seen such a dislocation and considered it extremely rare. To his knowledge but two cases have been reported, both before the days of roentgen examination. One was recorded by F. H. Hamilton in his book Fractures and Dislocations, published in 1884; the other was cited in the Bulletin de la Societe de chirurgie de Paris in 1874. One was the

<h3>Experimental Encephalitis and Dementia Paralytica</h3> Mr. Levaditi, of the Institut Pasteur, has made an observation that appears to explain the pathogenesis of dementia paralytica. In experimental encephalitis produced in animals with the spirochete of recurrent fever, he found that these parasites, which are usually found only in the granular form, appear sometimes in the form of spirilla when they have disappeared from the other organs. He concludes from this that the infection of the brain with the spirochete which occurs in dementia paralytica is of the same nature. The organism recovers its spirillar form coincident with the attacks of apoplectiform icterus, while in the intervals it persists in the latent state in the brain in the granular form. <h3>Discussion on Embolism</h3> The Société de chirurgie de Lyon recently discussed the subject of fatal embolism. Mr. Patel had observed six cases: four after fractures of the neck of the femur, two

Chirurgie de l'estomac. (Première partie.)

This, the sixth volume of the Travaux de chirurgie, is devoted to surgery of the stomach. It is written by the venerable dean of French surgery, Henri Hartmann, in collaboration with several co-workers. It reflects the experience and the opinions of a master surgeon, himself one of the pioneers in the field of surgery. There are chapters on diagnosis, operative technic and such conditions as peptic-jejunal ulcer and malignant and benign tumors of the stomach. An exhaustive bibliography adds much to the value of the book. Hartmann feels that if the surgeon wishes to be more than the barber of yesterday he must master the symptomatology of gastric disease. The surgeon has an advantage over the internist in that he can verify his observations on the operating table, whereas the latter sees his errors only at the autopsy. He regrets the modern tendency of relying on the laboratory aids almost

<h3>Radium Therapy in Cancer of the Cervix Uteri</h3> Addressing the Société belge de chirurgie, Dr. Delporte summed up his opinion on treatment of cancer of the cervix as follows: "The Wertheim operation was the first step toward the proper treatment of cancer of the cervix. Irradiation constitutes the second stage. Today radium therapy should replace surgery." With respect to the Wertheim operation, he states that (1) 43 per cent of the cases are operable, while 60 per cent of the cases are abandoned; (2) there are difficulties of technic; (3) the operative mortality is from 10 to 15 per cent; (4) cure of operable cases, after five years, results in from 30 to 45 per cent, and (5) 60 per cent of the inoperable cases are abandoned. From the standpoint of radium therapy, however, he observes that (1) all cases are treated; (2) there is no technical difficulty; (3) there

<h3>The Thirty-Second French Congress of Surgery</h3> The thirty-second congress of the Association française de chirurgie was held, October 8-12, at Paris, under the chairmanship of Dr. Témoin of Bourges. Of the topics discussed, transfusion of blood awakened the greatest interest. Transfusion concerns both surgeons and physicians. The association, therefore, appointed Prof. E. Jeanbrau of Montpellier and Dr. Victor Pauchet of Paris to treat the question from the surgical point of view, and invited Dr. P. Emile Weil, physician to the hospitals of Paris, to present the medical aspects. As Jeanbrau well said, while transfusion of blood is, above all, a biologic question, it belongs also to the fields of physiology, histology, physical and biologic chemistry, and immunology. Jeanbrau referred to the work of Hayem, which had pointed the way to many later discoveries. Many facts definitely established by him have been rediscovered after laborious experimentation which a perusal of his
