Dr. Sylvan D. Manheim, was a former chief of the proctology service at Mount Sinai Hospital. He had a private practice in NYC. He was Emeritus professor of surgery at Mount Sinai Medical School, and further he was on the staff of several area hospitals. / PROVENANCE: John Garlock (1896-1965), after graduation he received training in Surgery at New York Hospital with Eugene Poole, MD. "He was appointed Assistant Visiting Surgeon at New York Hospital in 1923, Instructor in Surgery at Columbia University in 1925, and shortly thereafter Assistant Clinical Professor of Surgery at Cornell University Medical College. During those early years he was concerned chiefly with general surgery, traumatic surgery, plastic surgery, thyroid surgery, and the surgery of the hand. In 1933 Dr. Garlock came to The Mount Sinai Hospital. He advanced rapidly through the Attending Staff ranks and in 1937 he was appointed Attending Surgeon and Chief of the Surgical Service that dealt mainly with gastrointestinal surgery. With his Mount Sinai appointment came post-graduate teaching duties, for which he was named a Clinical Professor of Surgery at Columbia University. He gained extensive experience in the problems relating to the surgical treatment of peptic ulcer, gastric cancer, inflammatory diseases of the small and large bowel and surgery of the biliary tract, and contributed significantly to the literature of these fields. Garlock's interest in the esophagus led him to gain extensive experience in the therapy of esophageal lesions as well, including hiatus hernia, esophagitis, stricture, diverticula and achalasia. Garlock's contributions to the surgical literature number upwards of one hundred sixty-five publications including a monograph on the surgery of the hand and chapters on esophageal and intestinal surgery."
