Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia Medical Semi-Monthly, (Richmond), Vol. 9: April, 1904-March, 1905, Inclusive, Thoroughly Indexed Before leaving the subject Of technique I would say that in this condition as in others of perforative peritonitis, the secret of success lies in the promptness of operation, in the gentlest and simplest manipulation Of the diseased tis sues, in the minimum amount of anesthetic and the brevity of the Operation. The treatment of chronic perforation consists in locating and draining the abscess, and it is only necessary to say that when this is done it should be done in the simplest and most direct manner and no attempt made at the time to do any formidable or formal operation.
