Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nephrocoloptosis: A Description of the Nephrocolic Ligament and Its Action in the Causation of Nephroptosis, With the Technic of the Operation or Nephrocolopexy, in Which the Nephrocolic Ligament Is Utilized to Immobilize Both Kidney and Bowel
This monograph presents my views of the subject treated, and is not a compilation or a historic treatise, mention being only incidentally made Of other opinions and theories.
I believe that in the nephrocolic ligament I have dis covered the principal positive etiologic factor in nephro ptosis. The belief that a nephroptosis, because of the action Of this ligament, must always be seconda'ry to and the result Of a coloptosis (except when due to trauma), and consequently should not be considered separately from, but of necessity with, the prolapsed colon, explains my reason for both the form Of the title of the book and the etiologic basis on which the subject is treated.
