It is in this section that the author’s own views most clearly emerge, dictated by many years of observations, especially the last ten years of independent leadership work, when methods of combating infection (antibiotics) and shock (the combination of anesthesia with infiltration anesthesia of shockogenic zones and drip blood transfusions), as well as a detailed practical study of the anatomy of the gas organs adjacent to the rectum.
