Acute appendicitis with peritonitis: Their relation and treatment

Résumé

With the exception of the wider utilisation of the oblique incision, the method of checking up the diagnosis after partially opening the abdominal wall, and not draining certain cases, there is nothing especially new in the suggestions herein offered. Their value consists largely in the fact that they have been systematically tried out through many years of handling a rather large number of cases of appendicitis with peritonitis; they therefore carry the endorsement of experience.
