Problem
The treatment of
acute bursitis is that
of threatening
phlegmon in any
other part of the body.
As soon as the
presence of pus can
be determined, or
even before, a free
incision should be
made. Such an Hygroma of a prepatellar bursa (“housemaid’s knee”).
incision should not be (Lexer.)
entirely closed after
evacuation of the sac, but should be permitted to heal by
granulation.
Chronic bursitis, whether with or without formation of granuloma, is
best treated by excision, when the sac has become thickened and a
new formation has practically occurred. Housemaid’s knee, for
instance, like bunion, is more satisfactorily treated by a clean
excision of all diseased tissue than by any other less radical method.
Every tuberculous lesion of this kind should be rigorously extirpated,
and every syphilitic lesion should be treated by constitutional as well
as by local measures, the former being, save in exceptional
instances, the more important of the two.[22]
[22] The Radical Cure of Bunions.—The term bunion is generally used
to indicate a painful swelling over the inner aspect of the ball of the great
toe; it is never seen on the feet of those who go barefooted, but is the result
of badly fitting shoes, almost all of which crowd the great toe outward, thus
making its base more prominent and exposing it to irritation and pressure.
The inner border of the foot is nearly a straight line, but shoes are rarely
made to conform to this. The result of the consequent partial dislocation of
the toe, and of the pressure made at its base, is chronic periostitis, and the
development of a bursa. It becomes greatly thickened and forms a small
tumor, usually sensitive and painful. The dislocation often proceeds to such
a degree that the great toe lies across the others, either over them or under
them, in such a position as to receive and deserve the name hallux valgus,
which is generally given it when this is pronounced. There is nothing to do
but to exsect the head of the first metatarsal bone, and at the same time
excise the bursa and some of the overlying and thickened skin.
CHAPTER XXIX.
SURGICAL DISEASES OF THE HEART AND
VASCULAR SYSTEM.
A generation ago a chapter on the surgery of the heart would have
been regarded as a surgical fantasy. Today the subject is not only a
live one, but experience is constantly accumulating as to the value of
surgical intervention in diseases of the heart and pericardium.
THE PERICARDIUM.
This closed sac is interesting to the surgeon in cases where it
becomes filled with air; with blood, as the result of injury (see above);
with fluid, as in acute pericarditis, or with pus, as a later stage of the
latter, with its consequent pyopericardium. With the introduction of
the aspirating needle it is possible to draw off collections of serum or
pus, and paracentesis of the pericardium is now a conventional minor
operation. It is managed in the same way and with the same
instruments as when the pleural cavity is involved. It is ordinarily
safe, and affords much relief.
The surgeon may go even farther than this and practise
cardicentesis, as the writer did once by accident while hospital
interne. After introducing the needle and withdrawing three or four
ounces of pus he discovered that he had given great relief, which,
however, was only temporary. The autopsy two days later revealed
that he had passed the needle point through the pericardial sac into
the heart wall and had tapped the abscess therein. This was in 1877,
and was probably the first time that the heart wall was ever thus
entered.
Now the operator goes still farther than this and practises
intentional cardicentesis in cases of engorgement of the right side of
the heart connected with lung disease which is threatening death
from dyspnea with an overstrained heart. In such cases the needle
may be introduced just above the fourth rib, from one-half to one inch
to the right of the sternum, or entrance can be effected just above the
fifth rib in an upward direction. From 100 to 250 Cc. of blood may be
withdrawn.
For ordinary tapping of the pericardium the needle is inserted two
inches to the left of the median line and in the fourth or fifth left
interspaces, pushing it carefully until resistance is no longer felt and
fluid flows through the tube. For either of these purposes the patient
should be recumbent, unless the distress in this position is too great,
in order that the heart may fall away from the chest wall. Aspiration
can be repeated in case it gives relief. Little or no harm seems to
ensue from the wound which a needle-point will make upon the heart
substance. As the sac is progressively emptied the needle-point
should be gradually withdrawn. When aspiration, exploratory or
therapeutic, reveals the presence of pus, the well-known rule will
apply, i. e., that pus left to itself will do more harm than will the
surgeon’s knife. For pyopericardium there is but one successful
treatment when aspiration fails, and that is open incision and
drainage. This is not so severe a measure as exposure of the heart,
as it may not even require the removal of one costal cartilage,
although it would probably be better to take out at least one, since
the shape of the pericardial cavity will change to such an extent after
it is emptied as to raise the opening to a higher level than is given it
at first. Open incision, then, with drainage, in these cases is no longer
an experiment but a life-saving procedure. It will prove successful in
at least half of the cases, which otherwise would certainly perish
without it.
PNEUMOPERICARDIUM.
Pneumopericardium implies the presence of air in the pericardial
sac, a condition of which there are now about 40 cases on record.
The air nearly always enters through an ulcerative perforation from
adjoining parts or through a wound, yet in 5 of these cases no
opening could be found. In these it was probably due to the presence
of a gas-forming bacillus, such as may also cause pneumothorax
under certain circumstances. The perforation was in the esophageal
wall in 7 cases, in 4 cases it was the result of softening of a lymph
node, while in other instances it has followed abscess of the left lobe
of the liver, pleuropneumonia and gastric ulcer perforating through
the diaphragm. Of the 8 cases of penetrating wound from without, I
included the small puncture made by paracentesis, while in 7 cases
there had been fracture of the ribs or the sternum, with wound or
laceration of the lung or the pericardium.
The most characteristic sign is a splashing, gurgling sound,
synchronous with the heart beats, such as the French have called the
“water-wheel bruit.” These sounds are louder than in
hydropneumothorax, and are heard distinctly over the heart. The
area of precordial dulness will change with position.
In unmistakable cases operation is indicated, the trap-door
exposure being the best, the inner end of the fifth and sixth ribs being
elevated. Irrigation and drainage will be necessary. It is encouraging
to know that 11 of the 40 cases above mentioned have recovered.
CARDIOLYSIS.
Cardiolysis refers to the operative release of the heart from
adhesions which have formed between it and the pericardium or the
chest wall. When with every contraction the heart itself is subjected to
the strain of an adhesion the work proves excessive and it will finally
succumb. It has been suggested by Delorme, Peterson, and Simon
to either temporarily resect the chest wall, open the pericardium and
break down or divide the adhesions, or else to resect those bony
portions of the chest wall, i. e., the sternum, cartilages, or ribs, which
are so inflexible as not to yield, not removing the bands but making
them harmless.[25]
[25] Those interested in the modern surgery of the heart and lungs
should consult Rickett’s recent work on this subject.
THE ARTERIES.
There are few parts of the body which adhere more closely to the
normal standard than do the larger arteries. Even here malformations
and congenital defects are met with. In calculating the chances of a
given procedure the surgeon should consider the condition of the
venous and lymphatic systems before deciding to operate on a
portion of the arterial system. This is particularly true when ligating
the femoral artery for elephantiasis of the leg.
Thrombosis and embolism have already been considered in the
chapter on the Blood. Nevertheless it may be well to remind the
student at this point that thrombus means a blood clot, while
thrombosis refers to the process of its formation; that embolus means
something which has passed into the blood current of an artery and
plugged it, the obstruction usually being a fragment of clot or tissue,
though it may be a droplet of fat or a bubble of air. Emboli, like
thrombi, may be sterile, and in this respect innocent, or it may be
composed of material loaded with septic, tuberculous, or cancerous
germs.
Fig. 137 Fig. 138 Fig. 139
The readiness with which vessels, both arteries and veins, lend
themselves to the exigencies of extra work has long been
recognized, and the natural provision for collateral circulation is one
of which surgeons have for centuries availed themselves. On the
contrary, vessels which are no longer needed or whose function is
lost will undergo atrophy almost to obliteration; thus after amputation
of the thigh the corresponding iliac vessels become much reduced in
size (Figs. 137, 138 and 139).
ARTERITIS; ENDARTERITIS.
That arterial walls are resistant is shown by the fact that they are
usually the last tissues to yield to gangrene. Whether a primary acute
arteritis often occurs is a question of less interest in this place than
the fact that even arterial walls will succumb to infection and that
secondary hemorrhages from ulcerative processes are by no means
rare. The pathological processes which occur in the various
structures of the heart are repeated in the arterial walls; thus there
may be a periarteritis corresponding to pericarditis, a mesarteritis
which in many ways resembles myocarditis, and an endarteritis
which corresponds more or less closely to endocarditis, and all of
these in their acute or chronic forms. The acute forms which concern
the surgeon are due usually to the presence of infected emboli, which
have the same effect upon the arterial walls that infected thrombi
have upon the venous walls, i. e., they lead to occlusion, infiltration,
and suppuration.
Of the more chronic types those produced by syphilis are the most
common. Here it is usually the outer and inner coats which suffer
most. Tuberculous infection of an artery is of frequent occurrence and
pertains only to those vessels which are in intimate relation with
previous tuberculous lesions, while the syphilitic forms are diffuse
and generalized and as likely to involve one part of the body as
another. It is well known that arteritis in various degrees of intensity
may be met with in most of the infectious diseases. Whether they are
due to the living germs or to toxins generated during the process
concerns us at this point but little. It is of importance, however, to
realize that vessels so compromised may thus receive their first
impetus to degeneration and subsequently form aneurysm. The
degenerative types of greatest interest to the surgeon are fatty
degeneration, which occurs in the interior rather than the exterior,
and calcification, which is rather an involvement of peripheral vessels
and which occurs mainly in the middle and the outer coats. The latter
may be limited or may involve an entire vessel. When the radial
arteries are involved the condition may be appreciated at the wrist.
Calcification frequently follows other degenerations, especially fatty,
of the intima, and then may be seen in the interior of an artery. A true
ossification has been described, but is exceedingly rare.
ARTERIOSCLEROSIS.
Arteriosclerosis is a term generally applied to a combination of
these degenerations, with thickening and diminution of caliber. The
changes combined are comprehended in the term atheroma, which is
seen as a localized lesion in nodules or plaques in the aorta and
larger vessels and in diffuse form in the smaller. Atheroma, as a
complex degeneration, constitutes an interesting study, as it leads to
well-marked changes in the vessel walls, which are softened at
points by fatty changes, the little mass of debris resulting being called
an atheromatous abscess (an unfortunate name), which may empty
into the vessel, leaving a small cavity and opening known as the
atheromatous ulcer. Around this occur usually the calcific changes
above described. The disturbance and the roughening thus produced
lead to the formation of fibrinous thrombi, which attach themselves
firmly at these points. When to such a weakening of the vessel wall
as is thus produced are added the elements of compensatory cardiac
hypertrophy, and the sudden changes of blood pressure produced by
certain occupations and alcoholic and other excesses, it will be seen
how atheromatous patches constitute points of least resistance,
where blood pressure may cause a vessel wall at least to bulge and
thus to afford the beginnings of an aneurysm; while, by combination
of various processes, final rupture may result.
The conditions are not so very different in the more diffuse forms,
especially in patients who have not only a tendency to vascular
disease but to increase it by the added toxemias of gout and syphilis,
of various excesses and bad habits, in which not only do arterial
coats suffer, but the heart muscle and lining as well. The relations
then of systematic toxemias to arterial disease and finally to surgical
conditions are not so circuitous as may at first appear.
ANEURYSM.
An aneurysm is a tumor communicating with an artery and
containing circulating or coagulated blood, or both. It may be formed
entirely from the wall of the vessel, or some portion of it may be
formed by surrounding tissue. Several varieties of aneurysm are
indicated by descriptive adjectives. They are divided, first, into true
and false, the former being composed of all the vascular coats and
being small and infrequent; the false aneurysms imply those in which
the entire arterial wall does not participate. Aneurysms inside the
body cavities are called internal, and those involving the limbs
external. The terms spontaneous and traumatic apply here as
elsewhere. Fusiform aneurysm implies a spindle-like dilatation of the
vessel in somewhat regular form. The sacculated aneurysm is
essentially a pouch protruding from one side of the vessel with which
it communicates. When the sac ruptures the aneurysm becomes
diffuse. If the outer coat gives way and the inner protrudes there is a
hernial aneurysm. The dissecting aneurysm is one formed by
separation between the arterial coats, so that blood coagulates or
flows between them. Such an aneurysm tends to assume a sacculate
form and to rupture. A varicose aneurysm is a sac through which an
artery and adjoining vein communicate. A cirsoid aneurysm
corresponds to a varix on the venous side of the circulation, and
implies dilatation of an artery and its branches. (See Figs. 140 to
145.)
