A RECENT SERIES OF 60 CASES OF TOTAL ENUCLEATION OF THE PROSTATE FOR RADICAL CURE OF ENLARGEMENT OF THAT ORGAN

Abstract

The,heart beat could i,ot be distinctly felt on that account, ;and the pulse was extremely irregular and intermittent. The patient looked in fairly good health, although he was *'asthmatic," and had suffered a great deal from the frequent passage of catheter by day and night during the previous 'three months. I removed the prostate in October, 1904. Dr. Cyril Lewis gave the anaesthetic, Dr. Jones assisted, and Mr. Cresswell, (.B., was present. The prostate and its eapsule were the toughest I have had to deal with and were removed piecemeal-four adenomata and three tough frag- *ments of capsule. My left forefinger got tired out, and I had -to usemy right forefinger before the operation was completed.
