Whenthe level of the urethra is reached the scissors are opened and withdrawn, thuscreating an area of separation of bladder and vagina, the amount of whichvaries according to the size of the cystocele and the amount of adherence be-tween the two layers of tissue. In performing this part of the operation thereis considerable danger of injuring the bladder. This must be guarded against OPERATIONS FOR UTERINE MALPOSITION 703 by gentle manipulation of the tissues. When the bladder and vagina have beenseparated, the anterior vaginal wall is incised along the median line and theedges of the flaps caught with pressure forceps.
