This method does not entirely removethe appendix, but inverts glandular tissue into the wall of the bowel. Thestump may not be completely asepticized by the carbolic acid and hence maylead to postoperative abscess, dense adhesions or fecal fistula, or the unde-stroyed lymphoid structure may cause further trouble, even persistent illhealth (Joseph Price). Some remove the appendix by an elliptical incisionaround its base, and close the colon wound by Lembert sutures. This method,of course, removes the appendix completely. Dawbarn surrounds the appen-dix with a continuous Lembert purse-string sut
