Abstract:
Seventy-three Torkildsen drainages are reported, of which 61 and 12 were performed on tumor patients and in the case of benign aqueduct occlusions due to congenital malformations or chronic inflammations, respectively. The results are quite satisfactory providing due consideration is given to both the basic ailment and the preoperative condition.
