The anal cushions--a fresh concept in diagnosis.
The anal canal is lined by cushions of specialized submucosal tissue which assist the continence mechanism. Starting with that premise, its various afflictions are examined and found to be more logically related, and much more readily understood.
The surgical anatomy of the superficial and perforating veins of the lower limb.
The superficial venous system was dissected in 60 legs. A possible function is ascribed to the long saphenous vein and an argument against its stripping in varicose veins presented. Abnormality of the long saphenous vein and its association with varicose veins is described. Particular features of the saphenous tributaries are noted and their relevance in varicosity discussed. The perforator system is described, the distinguishing properties of the medial ankle perforators being examined and their anatomical confinement delineated.
