Author Description

Excerpt from The Surgical Clinics of North America, Vol. 2: October, 1922; Number 5, Southern Number The hereditary antecedents and personal history of this pa tient Offer no facts of special interest, and the physical ex amination merely confirms the general impression that the patient is a robust, healthy, and well-proportioned young man, unusually free from venereal taint, whose only disability is the hernia which has brought him to the hospital for operation. As the chief interest attached to this Observation lies in the peculiar and rare anomaly that was discovered in the spermatic cord when the hernia] sac was opened, I shall confine myself to a statement of the operative findings as these were brought to light and dictated in the course of the operation.
