| Description | Image of Col. Edward W. Hinks, 19th Massachusetts Volunteers, with a case of recovery after a penetrating shot wound of the ascending colon. He was wounded at Antietam, September 17, 1862. Photograph taken at the Army Medical Museum. Caption reads: “War Department, Surgeon General’s Office, Army Medical Museum. Surgical Photograph, No 166. Prepared under the supervision of Assistant Surgeon George A. Otis, U.S.A. by order of the Surgeon General.” History is on reverse: "Surgeon General’s Office, Army Medical Museum. Photograph No. 166. Case of Recovery after a Penetrating Shot Wound of the Ascending Colon. Colonel Edward W. Hinks, 19th Massachusetts, was wounded at Antietam, about noon of September 17, 1862, by two musket balls, of which one shattered the right radius, and the other entered on a level with the umbilicus, three inches above the middle of the crest of the right ilium, and, having traversed the ascending colon, emerged a little to the right of the lumbar vertebrae. He lay upon the field until about noon of the following day, when he was removed to a vacant house, and thence to a field hospital, where he was attended by Surgeon J. Franklin Dyer, 19th Massachusetts. On September 21st, faecal matter began to escape from the wound of exit. On the 26th there were grave symptoms of peritonitis which were treated by entire rest, morphia, and cold water dressings. Impacted faeces in the lower part of the descending colon were removed mechanically. On October 12th he was removed to a Baltimore Hospital. Faecal discharges from the wound continued about four weeks longer. In November the patient was removed to Boston, and was treated by Dr. George M. Gay, at the Massachusetts General Hospital. He ultimately recovered entirely, and was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel of the 40th Infantry, July 28, 1866, on the reorganization of the Army. See Second Surgical Volume of the Medical and Surgical History of the Rebellion, p. 78, for additional details of this case. Photographed at the Army Medical Museum. By order of the Surgeon General: George A. Otis, Assistant Surgeon, U.S. A., Curator A.M.M.” |
