The majority of medical men are agreed upon the necessity for early operation - though we still hear an occasional dissentient voice - but there is some diversity of opinion as to the best mode of operative procedure, especially in those cases in which infection has spread beyond the appendix to the surrounding peritoneum. There is a growing school of opinion whose supporters believe that in practically all cases the abdomen may be safely stitched up after the appendix has been removed; others hold that where infection of the peritoneum has occurred it is essential to provide for drainage of the infected area. The merits of any method of treatment can only be estimated by a careful study of results. Since being called upon to perform the duties of temporary assistant surgeon to the Royal Infirmary, I have had exceptional opportunities, owing to the depletion of the staff, of operating on cases of this disease. I find that during the three years and nine months since the beginning of the war I have operated on 221 cases. These cases have the merit, from the point of view of a consideration of methods of treatment, of having been operated on within a comparatively limited space of time by the same operator and by the same methods. Almost all of these eases were operated on on the day of admission, and on going over the records I have endeavored to exclude all cases in which a definite pathological lesion of the appendix was not demonstrated at operation. Most of the eases have been operated on in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and in Leigh Hospital, and I am glad to have this opportunity of thanking my chiefs there for allowing me to treat the eases. From the point of view of treatment, cases of acute appendicitis are most conveniently grouped under three heads: - (1) Early cases.
