Congenital And Pathological Deformities Of The Prepuce And Urethra Stricture And Mechanical Obstructions Of The Urethra
When any of the central organs of the body presents in a form differing from that which we term natural, or structurally perfect and efficient, if the deformity be one which results as a malformation, ascribable to an error in the law of developme... Deformities Of The Prostate Distortions And Obstructions Of The Prostatic Urethra
The prostate is liable to such frequent and varied deformities, the consequence of diseased action, whilst, at the same time, its healthy function (if it have any) in the male body is unknown, that it admits at least of one interpretation which may,... Deformities Of The Urinary Bladder The Operations Of Sounding For Stone Of Catheterism And Of Puncturing The Bladder Above The Pubes
The urinary bladder presents two kinds of deformity--viz., congenital and pathological. As examples of the former may be mentioned that in which the organ is deficient in front, and has become everted and protruded like a fungous mass through an ope... Demonstrations Of The Nature Of Congenital And Infantile Inguinal Herniae And Of Hydrocele

The cutaneous, fascial, muscular, and membranous layers... Demonstrations Of The Origin And Progress Of Femoral Hernia Its Diagnosis The Taxis And The Operation
PLATE 45, Fig. 1.--The point, 3, from which an external inguinal hernia first progresses, and the part, 5, within which the femoral hernia begins to be formed, are very close to each other. The inguinal hernia, 3, arising above, 5, the crural arch, ... Demonstrations Of The Origin And Progress Of Inguinal Herniae In General
PLATE 41, Fig. 1.--When the serous spermatic tube is obliterated for its whole length between the internal ring, 1, and the top of the testicle, 13, a hernia, in order to enter the inguinal canal, 1, 4, must either rupture the peritonaeum at the poi... The Dissection Of Femoral Hernia And The Seat Of Stricture
Whilst all forms of inguinal herniae escape from the abdomen at places situated immediately above Poupart's ligament, the femoral hernia, G, Fig. 1, Plate 43, is found to pass from the abdomen immediately below this structure, A I, and between it an... The Dissection Of The Oblique Or External And The Direct Or Internal Inguinal Herniae
The order in which the herniary bowel takes its investments from the eight layers of the inguinal region, is precisely the reverse of that order in which these layers present in the dissection from before backwards. The innermost layer of the inguin... The Distinctive Diagnosis Between External And Internal Inguinal Herniae The Taxis The Seat Of Stricture And The Operation
A comparison of the relative position of these two varieties of herniae is in ordinary cases the chief means by which we can determine their distinctive diagnosis; but oftentimes they are found to exhibit such an interchange of characters, that the ... The Form Of The Thoracic Cavity And The Position Of The Lungs Heart And Larger Bloodvessels
In the human body there does not exist any such space as cavity, properly so called. Every space is occupied by its contents. The thoracic space is completely filled by its viscera, which, in mass, take a perfect cast or model of its interior. The t... The Relation Of The Internal Parts To The External Surface Of The Body
An exact acquaintance with the normal character of the external form, its natural prominences and depressions, produced by the projecting swell of muscles and points of bone, &c., is of great practical importance to the surgeon. These several marks ... The Relation Of The Principal Bloodvessels Of The Thorax And Abdomen To The Osseous Skeleton Etc
The arterial system of vessels assumes, in all cases, somewhat of the character of the forms upon which they are distributed, or of the organs which they supply. This mode of distribution becomes the more apparent, according as we rise from particul... The Relations Of The Principal Bloodvessels To The Viscera Of The Thoracico-abdominal Cavity
The median line of the body is occupied by the centres of the four great systems of organs which serve in the processes of circulation, respiration, innervation, and nutrition. These organs being fashioned in accordance with the law of symmetry, we ... The Relative Anatomy Of The Male Pelvic Organs
As the abdomen and pelvis form one general cavity, the organs contained in both regions are thereby intimately related. The viscera of the abdomen completely fill this region, and transmit to the pelvic organs all the impressions made upon them by t... The Relative Position Of The Cranial Nasal Oral And Pharyngeal Cavities
On making a section (vertically through the median line) of the cranio-facial and cervico-hyoid apparatus, the relation which these structures bear to each other in the osseous skeleton reminds me strongly of the great fact enunciated by the philoso... The Relative Position Of The Deeper Organs Of The Thorax And Those Of The Abdomen
The size or capacity of the thorax in relation to that of the abdomen varies in the individual at different periods of life. At an early age, the thorax, compared to the abdomen, is less in proportion than it is at adult age. The digestive organs in... The Relative Position Of The Superficial Organs Of The Thorax And Abdomen
In the osseous skeleton, the thorax and abdomen constitute a common compartment. We cannot, while we contemplate this skeleton, isolate the one region from the other by fact or fancy. The only difference which I can discover between the regions call... The Surgical Dissection Of The Axillary And Brachial Regions Displaying The Relative Order Of Their Contained Parts
All surgical regions have only artificial boundaries; and these, as might be expected, do not express the same meaning while viewed from more points than one. These very boundaries themselves, being moveable parts, must accordingly influence the rel... The Surgical Dissection Of The Bend Of The Elbow And The Forearm Showing The Relative Position Of The Arteries Veins And Nerves
The farther the surgical region happens to be removed from the centre of the body, the less likely is it that all accidents or operations which involve such regions will concern the life immediately. The limbs undergo all kinds of mutilation, both b... The Surgical Dissection Of The Deep Structures Of The Male Perinaeum The Lateral Operation Of Lithotomy
The urethra, at its membranous part, M, Fig. 1, Plate 53, which commences behind the bulb, perforates the centre of the deep perinaeal fascia, E E, at about an inch and a half in front of F, the anus. The anterior layer of the fascia is continued fo... The Surgical Dissection Of The Fifth Sixth Seventh And Eighth Layers Of The Inguinal Region And Their Connexion With Those Of The Thigh
When we remove the internal oblique and cremaster muscles, we expose the transverse muscle, which may be regarded as the fifth inguinal layer, F, Pl. 30. This muscle is similar in shape and dimensions to the internal oblique. The connexions of both ... The Surgical Dissection Of The First Second Third And Fourth Layers Of The Inguinal Region In Connexion With Those Of The Thigh
The common integument or first layer of the inguino-femoral region being removed, we expose the superficial fascia constituting the second layer. The connexion of this fascia with Poupart's ligament along the line C D, together with the facts, that ... The Surgical Dissection Of The Male Bladder And Urethra Lateral And Bilateral Lithotomy Compared
Having examined the surgical relations of the bladder and adjacent structures, in reference to the lateral operation of lithotomy, it remains to reconsider these same parts as they are concerned in the bilateral operation and in catheterism. Fig.... The Surgical Dissection Of The Popliteal Space And The Posterior Crural Region
On comparing the bend of the knee with the bend of the elbow, as evident a correspondence can be discerned between these two regions, as exists between the groin and the axilla. Behind the knee-joint, the muscles which connect the leg with the thi... The Surgical Dissection Of The Principal Bloodvessels And Nerves Of The Iliac And Femoral Regions
Through the groin, as through the axilla, the principal blood vessels and nerves are transmitted to, the corresponding limb. The main artery of the lower limb frequently becomes the subject of a surgical operation. The vessel is usually described as... The Surgical Dissection Of The Sterno-clavicular Or Tracheal Region And The Relative Position Of Its Main Bloodvessels Nerves &c
The law of symmetry governs the development of all structures which compose the human body; and all organized beings throughout the animal kingdom are produced in obedience to this law. The general median line of the human body is characterized as t... The Surgical Dissection Of The Subclavian And Carotid Regions The Relative Anatomy Of Their Contents
A perfect knowledge of the relative anatomy of any of the surgical regions of the body must include an acquaintance with the superposition of parts contained in each region, as well as the plane relationship of organs which hold the same level in ... The Surgical Dissection Of The Superficial Bloodvessels Etc Of The Inguino-femoral Region
Hernial protrusions are very liable to occur at the inguino-femoral region; and this fact has led the surgeon to study the anatomical relations of this part with more than ordinary care and patience. So minutely has he dissected every structure prop... The Surgical Dissection Of The Superficial Structures Of The Male Perinaeum
The median line of the body is marked as the situation where the opposite halves unite and constitute a perfect symmetrical figure. Every structure--superficial as well as deep--which occupies the median line is either single, by the union of halves... The Surgical Dissection Of The Wrist And Hand
A member of such vast importance as the human hand necessarily claims a high place in regard to surgery. The hand is typical of the mind. It is the material symbol of the immaterial spirit, It is the prime agent of the will; and it is that instrumen... The Surgical Form Of The Deep Cervical And Facial Regions And The Relative Position Of The Principal Bloodvessels And Nerves
While the human cervix is still extended in surgical position, its deeper anatomical relations, viewed as a whole, preserve the quadrilateral form. But as it is necessary to remove the sterno-cleido-mastoid muscle, in order to expose the entire rang... The Surgical Form Of The Male And Female Axillae Compared
Certain characteristic features mark those differences which are to be found in all corresponding regions of both sexes.
