In Rockhampton Queensland, the person who took on this heroic duty was the local surgeon, Dr. Wylie Gibbons. - Barry Marshall, Nobel Laureate in Medicine 2005. This book chronicles the development by a local surgeon in a regional centre in Australia in the 1960s of the technique of gastric hypothermia - gastric cooling via a balloon inserted into the stomach, as a safer alternative to surgery for patients with massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The physiological effects of gastric hypothermia are documented and illustrated clinical outcomes in 29 patients are provided.
