Facts and fiction: the death of Saint Ignatius of Loyola.

BACKGROUND: The biography of Ignatius of Loyola, the sainted founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), ends with his death in curious circumstances. METHODS: A careful search of the available sources written from the time of his death in 1556 to the present has reviewed the evidence. RESULTS: The evidence does not support the claims for a diagnosis that has been used for four centuries. CONCLUSIONS: So-called historical "facts" simply are the opinions of historians. Ignatius may have suffered from hyperparathyroidism that led to his death rather than from a cholangioportal venous fistula.

Hartmann's operation.

Hartmann's operation for rectal cancer is a term that has been misapplied. Complications have occurred when the rectal stump has been too long and the blood supply has been insufficient for clean healing. That is not what Hartmann described. His procedure was to transect the rectum and to close it at, or below, the peritoneal reflection, which is where the bowel is supplied blood by the inferior hemorrhoidal arteries. The rationale for this approach is discussed.
