these 2 cases had presented acute, macroscopic symptoms of inflam
mation.
On the other hand, out of
20
gall bladders which had been drained,
only
5
were normal when re-examined with x-ray. Out of these
5
,
2 had been normal at operation, 2 adherent and 1 acutely inflamed.
Out of 6 patients in whom drainage had been performed in spite of
macroscopicafly perfectly normal gall bladders, only 2 were quite
normal when re-examined.
From this may be concluded:
1
) Primary suture of the gall bladder often allows a normal func
tion later on.
2
) Drainage of the gall bladder considerably reduces the chances
of normal function, but does not absolutely exclude this possibility.
3
) The complications (inflammation, extension) which induce
drainage also reduce the chances of normal function, but do not
exclude normal function.
