THE SURGERY OF THE PANCREAS. 11/ and its place was cccupied by a firm cicatrix, which, by contraction,had approximated both portions of the gland. The crushing was donebelow the point of entrance of the pancreatic duct, which caused theatrophy of the duodenal portion, which was no longer in physiologicalconnection with the duodenum. Fig. a.

Pancreas broughtinto the abdominal incision, with a loop of the duodenum, and with-out separating it from the bowel it was crushed at its middle to theextent of two inches between the blades of a sequestrum forceps. Nohemorrhage followed the procedure, and the organ was dropped backinto the abdominal cavity. The animal had been in bad conditionbefore the operation, and died seven days later. At the autopsy theabdominal incision was found closed. No peritonitis or portion showed no signs of suppuration, but appeared thickerand shorter than after the crushing, a change which was attributed tothe infiltration of the dead tissue by leucocytes and connective tissueproliferation. The two ends of the gland were brought into closer Il8 SENN, contact by contractio
