Dear Dr. Freud,
I understand your concerns and the distress that uncertainty can bring, especially when it pertains to one’s health and well-being. It is indeed regrettable that you have experienced such prolonged periods of anxiety and discomfort. I will provide you with a detailed account of the surgical procedures that have been performed, as per the records available.
**First Operation – April 20, 1923:**
The initial surgical intervention was an excision of the lesion on your right posterior hard palate. Unfortunately, the procedure was not executed optimally. The surgical margins were not adequately assessed for the presence of tumor cells, and there was significant bleeding. Post-operative care was also less than satisfactory, leading to a distressing experience for you.
**Second Operation – October 4 and 11, 1923:**
This operation was conducted in two stages. The first stage involved ligation of the right external carotid artery to minimize bleeding during the subsequent surgery. The submandibular gland and lymph nodes were also removed. The second stage entailed the use of electrocautery to remove part of the right maxilla and sections of the lower jaw. Skin grafts were applied to the affected areas, and a prosthesis was inserted. Despite these measures, a recurrence of the malignancy was noted shortly after.
**Third Operation – November 12, 1923:**
This procedure involved the removal of the remaining right pterygoid process and a significant portion of the right side of the soft palate. Unfortunately, the soft palate later deteriorated, resulting in a maxillary defect that posed challenges for prosthetic obturation and significantly impacted your quality of life.
**Fourth Operation – November 17, 1923:**
You underwent the Steinach operation, which involved the ligation of the vas deferens. The rationale behind this procedure was to stimulate the secretion of testicular hormones, with the hope of rejuvenating the body and positively influencing the cancer.
**Radiotherapy – September 1939:**
As the disease progressed, radiotherapy was advised and administered. This treatment aimed to control the growth of the cancerous cells and provide some relief from the symptoms.
Throughout these years, you have endured a great deal, Dr. Freud. The complications and recurrences have undoubtedly been taxing both physically and emotionally. It is important to note that the understanding and treatment of cancer have evolved significantly over time, and what was considered appropriate at the time of your treatments may not align with current medical practices.
If you have any further questions or need additional clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out. My goal is to provide you with the support and information you need during this challenging time.
With warm regards and in professional solidarity,
*Michael Truppe, MD*
