The Physical Exploration Of The Rectum: With An Appendix On The Ligation Of Hæmorrhoidal Tumors by William Bodenhamer. The text is a practical medical treatise from the 19th-century American surgical field that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases of the rectum and anal canal. It emphasizes thorough physical exploration, combining visual and digital examination with instrumental aids such as the speculum ani and the rectal endoscope, and details the anatomy of the rectum, its divisions, mucous folds, and relationships to pelvic organs. The work covers the technique of sounding the rectum and sigmoid colon, patient preparation, and proper positioning, with cautions about patient safety, pain, and tissue preservation. An appended section addresses ligation of hemorrhoidal tumors, advocating a refined approach that minimizes tissue injury and patient discomfort. The preface notes historical neglect of rectal disease and calls for precise, microscopical attention, while the main sections aim to educate students and junior practitioners about accurate diagnosis and skilled exploration.
