New method of surgical treatment of blood vessel lesions.
Professor Androsov's articles should be of considerable interest to American surgeons, representing as they do a new freedom in the exchange of ideas with the medical profession of the Soviet Union. In recent years no Russian surgeon has sought publication of original work in surgical journals of this country. Early last fall I visited Professor Androsov in Moscow at the Sklifosovsky Institute, a hospital made famous by the late Professor Yudin. I was impressed by the work that he and his associates were doing in peripheral vascular surgery and in the reconstruction of lye burns of the esophagus. Professor Androsov was extremely hospitable and showed a keen interest in the freer exchange of knowledge between American and Soviet surgeons. He and his staff evinced a friendly interest in American medical institutions as a result of Professor Yudin's visit to the Mayo Clinic and other institutions in this country in former years. Let us hope that other Soviet surgeons will follow Professor Androsov's lead in submitting to us from time to time reports of their work.
