Title: | Audit and the birth of the abdomino-perineal excision for carcinoma of the rectum. | Austin Authors: | Wiley, Malcolm J;Rieger, Nicholas | Affiliation: | wiley@bigpond.net.au Department of Surgery, The University of Melbourne, Austin and Repatriation Medical Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia |
Issue Date: | 1-Oct-2003 | Publication information: | ANZ Journal of Surgery; 73(10): 858-61 | Abstract: | Sir Ernest Miles first performed his radical abdomino-perineal excision for carcinoma of the rectum in 1907. This event was the culmination of almost a decade of audit in which he carefully studied the outcomes of patients with rectal carcinoma. Miles's interpretation of his audit led, in a stepwise manner, to gradual changes in his operative technique and the eventual development of the radical abdomino-perineal operation; the operation that bears his name. The Miles operation and the principles upon which it is based, would lead to an improved outcome for patients with rectal carcinoma. | Gov't Doc #: | 14525585 | URI: | http://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/9639 | Journal: | ANZ Journal of Surgery | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14525585 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Carcinoma.history.surgery Colorectal Surgery.history Great Britain History, 19th Century History, 20th Century Humans Rectal Neoplasms.history.surgery |
