He is therefore adopting the method more and morein all operations that do not actually demand abdominal section. (b) Kraskes Parasacral Method.—The term parasacral is employed to in-dicate any method by which access to the rectum is obtained bv either per-manent or temporary sacrifice of any part of the sacrum or coccyx. They areall modifications of Kraskes method, which was first introduced in method consists in simply removing the cocc^-x. Kraske removes thecoccyx and the left corner of the sacrum. Other operatoi-s remove more orless of this bone, as will be seen bv referrins; to the drawings. (Fio- ,37-^. Fig. 376.—Perineal Extirpation. P. Lateral peritoneal folds; T, enlargement of h-mph nodesbetween folds of mesorectum. (Tuttle.) A-H.) Rehn. Rydygier, and Hegar do not remove the bone permanently,but leave it in a skin flap, as \\-ill be described. After the bone has beenremoved and suitabk^ access has been obtained to the rectum posteriorly,these operators all employ the same method of extirpation, and it is unneces-sary to go into any detailed description of this part of the operation more thanonce. \on Heinecke makes a T-shaped incision into the skin, earning it throughthe sacrum and coccyx. Le^y makes a sciuare flap and throws it other operators nearly all use a straight incision from the anus backwardand up to about the level of the third sacral foramen: the} then remove thecoccyx and as much of the sacrum as they believe necessary and vn.—08 914 AMERICAN PRACTIC
