Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1885, Vol. 2 In some cases the patient has remained under treatment for more than three weeks, but thus far a useful and painless stump has always resulted. The number of operations since J annary 1884, has reached 75. In the earlier operations iodoform was used and in the last cases inundation with corrosive sublimate solution, and this seems to have shortened the time required for healing. In the last eleven exenteration with corrosive subli mate the average number of days in the clinic has been seven and a fraction, while in twenty preceding cases treated with iodo doform the average was more than eleven days. The objection that exenteration requires a longer stay in the clinic than enu cleation has no weight if the exenteration can exclude the cases of death following the enucleation, and this question can only be determined by long experience. Painful stumps, through irrita tion of the ciliary nerves, occur occasionally following enuclea tion, and if they be sometimes found after exenteration this cannot condemn the operation; as yet, however, no instance of a painful stump has occurred; the ciliary nerves are, probably at least, as well protected from irritation when the sclera remains as when it is removed. As regards ease of operating neither method has an advantage over the other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
