Synopsis

This book guides surgeons through the treatment of malignant growths of the large intestine, encompassing the pathology of such growths, their vascular distribution and lymphatic reach, and the implications of these factors for surgical intervention. The author presents a detailed review of current medical understanding of large intestine cancers, which are characterized by slow development, delayed lymphatic invasion, and a tendency toward mucoid degeneration. Drawing on numerous post-mortem and surgical investigations, the author advocates for radical surgical resection of growths to maximize the chances of complete relief from the disease. The book examines various surgical procedures appropriate for removing cancerous growths in different sections of the colon, emphasizing the importance of excising the lymphatic system in the area to prevent recurrence. Practical, detailed descriptions of surgical techniques are provided, along with an analysis of their pros and cons, making this book a valuable resource for surgeons seeking to expand and refine their approach to large intestine cancer treatment.
