A second line of suture, a continuous, non-pene-trating Lembert suture of silk, is introduced. This suture invertsand buries the first line of suture, the through-and-through catgutsuture. The end of the ? stomach is wrapped in a compress andtemporarily laid aside, and the attention of the operator is directedto the duodenum. The duodenum is divided between the two clamps, rather close tothe crushing clamp, and the resection of the pylorus is thus accom-plished.

This suturecatches the wall of the duodenum about one-quarter inch beyond itscut edge and Joins it to the wall of the stomach about one-quarter inchaway from the edge of the opening. This suture is applied only half-way around (the posterior half) and then the needle is laid aside 390 ABDOMEN AND BACK. until required later to complete this outside ring of suture.
