Some Notes Concerning the Suturing of Venous Injuries Including a Case Study of a Healed Suture of the Vena Cava (Einige Remerkungen Ueber die Naht von Venenwunden, Nebst Mittheilung Eines Falles von Geheilter Naht der Vena Cava Inferior),
Abstract
During the first meeting of the XIth Congress of the German Surgical Society, the author had the opportunity during a lecture by Professor Braun to discuss a case involving a lateral venous ligature in which he had complete success, both with respect to lasting stoppage of blood flow as well as preserving accessibility of the vessel. This was achieved by binding an injury of the vena fermoralis under the inaguinal or Poupard's ligament simply by closing it with a fine catgut suture. After considerable experience with this procedure, the author is positive that the method has such a high degree of reliability, convenience and lack of danger that it can be accepted as the normal method in all instances where undisturbed function of the vessel is considered as vital.
