Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Vol. 34: An International Magazine Published Monthly; January to June, 1922
We consider an operation indicated when stenosis or repeated bleeding is present and endangers the life of the patient or when per sistent symptoms resist all efforts at medical treatment, and thus impair the efiiciency and well - being of the patient. These limitations are mentioned because many ulcers heal spontaneously or with medical treatment, because in some cases, even after operation, the tendency to form ulcers still remains, because operation does not in all cases effect a cure, and because operation is accompanied by a certain risk and certain sequelae may follow intervention, as for instance, ulcus pepticum jejuni.
