Operation Resection of Inferior Dental Nerve Performed
Alfred Ladd, 70, with two years of jaw and facial neuralgia, underwent a complex resection of the inferior dental nerve under Dr E A Pond. Despite heart trouble and exhaustion the surgery proceeded with antiseptic care and a prolonged jaw dissection. Three quarters of an inch of the nerve was removed. Edmond Morse Ponce, a Bellevue College student and former Massachusetts General Hospital trainee, led the operation as five physicians observed.
