Mr Makins's experience of relapse following operation to close a colotomy wound had occurred in a case of Dr. Phillips's, the relapse being fatal, and he thought the advisability of operation must be decided on the merits of each individual case.
Abstract
old inflammatory attacks, and sometimes it was impossible or very difficult to irrigate through the appendix. Mr. Makins's experience of relapse following operation to close a colotomy wound had occurred in a case of Dr. Phillips's, the relapse being fatal. He thought the advisability of operation must be decided on the merits of each individual case, and it should be borne in mind that however ill the patient became in colitis, recovery might ensue even without operation.
