The first part of this essay covers well
known ground and one which perhaps has already been
discussed "ad nauseam" by many writers. ''"`y only
excuse for once more bringing forward the subject
of Chronic Intestinal Stasis - is the necesi y to
calle to some clear understanding as to what the disease really stands for - whether it is at times a
surgical affection and if so, what are the best
means at our disposal to relieve safely and rapidly
the condition.

Whatever may e said to the contrary - Medical treat=ment is in a fair proportion of cases
quite hopeless - Can surgery do more without creating an infirmity as great if not greater than the
disease it professes to cure? The answer will be
found in the following pages.

Once bereft of academic discussions on side
issues, or technical points, the subject of chronic
stasis is really quite simple and its surgical
treatment when advisable is equally easily grasped.

One thing however appears necessary to make
it fully clear and it is to drop the complicated
-terminology with which it is still at present sur-
rounded - Another is to understand that Chronic
Intestinal Stasis does not necessarily mean Chronic
Constipation - nor Constipation, Stasis. The
mixing up of these two terms has at times considerably confused the issue at stake.

We are convinced once the general practitioner
true
fully understands what are the /causes of Chronic Into ;final Stasis and the safe surgical measures proposed to cure the disease -- he will more readily
advise an operation which when every other form of
treatment has failed - would in a large majority
of cases considerably relieve if not always cure a
distressing and sometimes a dangerous condition.

With the great progrese now made in radioscopy
and radiography specially when Bari: lb injections with
manipulations under the flubrescent screen are cârried
out by well trained X-ray operators - it is possible
to form a correct and concrete idea whether an operation is necessary and if so, which is the best one
to advise.
