Both the Letulle and Virchow start the same way: a Y incision is made and the skin is reflected from the chest and abdomen. If the…

growth, reduced oxygen and retention of carbon dioxide which can lead to hypoxia and acidosis. The gastrointestinal system is affected when the pancreatic ducts are blocked by thick secretions.
