Saddlebag hernia.

Saddlebag hernia occurs most commonly as a small indirect sac in association with an obvious direct inguinal hernia. It may be easily overlooked at operation. Hoguet's manoeuvre is the most satisfactory method of operative treatment of saddlebag hernia. It is suggested that an overlooked indirect sac associated with a direct inguinal hernia is a common cause of recurrent inguinal hernia.

Closure of a loop colostomy by a modified Le Gac's operation.

The results of closure of a loop colostomy presented by various authors are reviewed. It is suggested that postoperative faecal fistula is due most frequently to oedema and constriction at the site of bowel closure. Le Gac's method of closure is described. It comprises excision of the stoma and spur with side-to-side as well as end-to-end anastomosis, and it results in a wide lumen closure. A modified Le Gac's operation is described in which the mesocolic spur is not removed.

John Hunter's alleged syphilis.

The allegation that John Hunter suffered from syphilis is challenged. It is suggested that he was the subject of non-luetic vascular disease, evidence for which may be found by a study of his symptoms and autopsy report. It is further suggested that John Hunter's famous inoculation experiment was performed not on himself but on another subject. It is claimed that there is in fact no scientific evidence for attributing John Hunter's illness to syphilis and it is urged that the stigma of this diagnosis should be expunged from his image.
