1. 42. Skin Wound, in Process of Healing" by First 

 Intention. 



Specimen required. 



1. 43. Wound of Skin and of Peritoneum healed by First 



Intention. — Portion of the anterior abdominal wall, at and 

 near the middle line, about 14 days after an abdominal operation. 

 The patient was a young man, upon whom laparotomy was performed 

 for intestinal obstruction, caused by a band. The band was divided, and 

 the obstruction successfully relieved. Two weeks afterwards, however, the 

 obstruction returned, owing to adhesions forming at the seat of the 

 previous obstruction. A second operation was performed, but the patient 

 died a few hours afterwards. 



The peritoneal wound has so completely healed that it is 

 now impossible to say that any such wound had existed. 

 The skin wound is also healed, but the recent epidermis has 

 somewhat peeled off, and by its puckering shows where the 

 wound was. G. C. 3320.
