y CARL HENN “AN HPEration er a Ti:-toot Treiston= perhaps the long-

est ‘in medical history--has proved a double blessing. It has released a 48-year-old woman from virtual imprison-

ment in her home

and saved the life of a 15-year-old girl.

The operation .removed from Mrs. Mary Margaret Leo, 1832

N. Moreland Ave. from her abdomen almost to her

ts knees,

Skin pected trom the removed “apron of fat” was grafted Lr. immediately over large burned areas on the body of Josephine Byers, of Owensburg, who was in critical condition. Both operation’and skin grafting were performed May 11 at Hospital, Indiana Univers

Mrs. Leo, wife of James Leo, watchman at American National Bank, and mother of five children whose ages range from 10 to 27 years, had carried & roll of flesh at the waistline since she was 14. Her affliction was diagnosed as a “ptosis.” Doctors said it

, a pendulous veil of skin and fat which hung

was “unusual but “not by any means unknown As she grew older and gained weight, the roll began to droop and enlarge. By March 1948, the 5 feet 2 inch housewife: weighed more than 350 pounds.

ly. Bhe was losing body fluids through ungrafted areas faster than her blood could replenish the supply. Between 8 and 2 a. m. on May 11, Dr. Burton L. Olmsted and another doctor prepared to operate on Mrs. Leo. Both are plastic surgeons and veterans of World War II. Dr. Olmsted is a resident surgeon at-JU- Medical Center. - . es » # : WORKING TOGETHER, the doctors made two cuts in the long strip of skin and fat connected to Mrs. Leo's abdomen. One inélsion, four feet long, ran in a semicircle undef the flap The other, three and onehalf feet long, ran in a semi-

‘circle on the upper side of the

flap. The incisions met at each hipbone. Carefully,

the plastic sur-

HER FAMILY PHYSICIAN placed her on a diet. Within a year she lost 100 pounds, ‘but the abdominal g£kin sagged even lower. Her dnctor finally suggested an operation to have it removed. On-May 8 Mrs. Leo entered Long Hospital. On May 11 she was ready to be wheeled into the operating room for what proved to be a 4'3-hour session under the knife. Meanwhile, Miss Byers had been burned over more than 60 per cent of her body on Feb. 10 when fire destroyed the home of her parents, Mr, and Mrs. ond Byers, in Owensburg. on: to - Riley Hospital, she underwent five skin grafts and 24 blood transfusions but failed to begin healing correct-
