How Is Tuberculosis Acquired?

Abstract

supplemented at times by the sharp spoon or curette.Bosworth considers cauterization of the base of the tumor oftentimes harmful, stimulating the growth to renewed activity. This was apparently truo in the caBe just cited, for it was not until the galvano-cautery was abandoned that he made headway against the growth. For the same reason the galvano-cautery loop is not usually advisable. " The most serious obstacle met with in these operations, is always the excessive haemorrhage. This is probably true in all varieties of sarcoma, and especially so of the angiomatou8 growths. The source of the htemorrliage is always from the tumor itself, and the indications are to get the growth out as rapidly as possible, and to get down to its attachments. When this part is reached, the haemorrhage, as a rule, ceases at once."As I have already said, after the primary operation, the patient muBt be seen at specified intervals for at least two years, to watch for any tendency to recurrence.
