The Abdomen i6i 



GASTBO-ENTEROSTOMY. 

 GASTRO-ENTEBAL ANASTOMOSIS 



These terms are applied to the operation, by which an anas- 

 tomotic opening is established between the stomach and intestines. 

 Such operation is indicated whenever the onflow of the gastric 

 contents is obstructed by structural changes of the pyloric or duod- 

 enal regions. The indications have their limitations, however, for 

 in canine practice the operation should only be attempted in the 

 presence of benign disease. The union should be effected between 

 the stomach and jejenum, and care must be exercised that in es- 

 tablishing the union the peristaltic movements are in the same 

 direction. Some sort of device is necessary to facilitate the opera- 

 tion, and either the Murphy button or my hair-pin method may 

 be employed in the same manner as described under Entero-enteral 

 Anastomosis.

The Intestines 

 EXAMINATION. 



In the diagnosis of intestinal lesions palpation is of great aid. 



The animal should be in the erect position, the practitioner stand- 



mg behind and compressing the abdomen between the fingers of 



both hands. In some cases it is necessary to make a direct ex-
