I thought it necessary to remove it after only three or four days,but the results obtained were not so favourable as when I left itin situ for at least eight days. This method has the advantage of being extremely rapid ; ittakes scarcely more than a few minutes to perform. It is notattended with much haemorrhage, for I have never yet had to plug,nor have I met with the least accident. The only inconvenience is the pain which the inflammatoryreaction following the operation produces during the first forty-. FiG. 11.—Vertical Transverse Section of the Nasal Fossa (Anterior Aspect). In this figure are seen: 1, Cut fibro-cartilage over-riding (2) the floor of thenasal fossa from which it has been detached; 3 and 3, the tube introducedinto the interior of the nose, moulding the septum on the side 3, and restingby its opposite side (3) on the inferior turbinal. eight hours. To meet this trouble, I advise my patients to keeptheir rooms during the first days, and to very frequently bathe thenose in warm boiled boracic solution, which takes the place of wetdressings. This method of operating has the advantage over thatof Asch in not obliging the operator to remove the tube placed inthe interior of the nose after twenty-four or forty-eight hours, atthe risk of seeing the products of secretion retained in this region,and possibly of an infection of the wound.
