First removal of the stomach in America.
Publication Details
Amer. J. Surg. Gynec., 109, 157-58. 1897 CE–1898 CE.
Operation performed by Baldy in 1893. He refers to a claim in J. Amer. med. Ass., 1898, 30, 341-44 giving credit for the first excision of the stomach in America to A. C. Bernays (1854-1907). While Baldy probably deserves priority, the point is moot since neither Baldy’s nor Bernays’ operations were successful.
