Synopsis
Excerpt from Localisation and Extraction of Projectiles
It involves, of course, close collaboration between the surgeon and the radiologist always and compels the presence of both at every operation. This is an ideal method where time is of no particular moment, but it is not feasible when a large number of casualties have to be dealt with rapidly, as for example at the Casualty Clearing Stations where five or six surgeons may be operat ing at the same time and there is only one X-ray outfit.
Of its successful application in expert hands, the figures of results quoted give the proof. In a series of cases, only 3 were unsuccessfully operated upon.
The description makes the process appear fascinatingly simple, so much so that there is a risk that non-experts might be tempted after reading it to undertake extractions which would be unjustifiable or at least better left alone.
The well-known hypersensibility of those who have suffered from X-ray dermatitis to even a small amount of irradiation should certainly preclude their adopting this procedure.
