It is, therefore, better, in any case similar to thatrepresented in Fig. 22 or 23, to remove the lower section by the loopwhen about half cut through all around, and thus obtain room and in-creased facility for the most difficult and important part of the opera-tion. At this juncture, owing to the shriveled condition of the stump,it may be necessary to forcibly dilate the upper cervical canal so as toadmit the sharp curette. This should be done carefully by the aid of thescrew button alone, and not by unguarded stretching, which might result L-18 BYRNE. in tearing the tissues to an unlimited extent and opening into the peri-toneal cavity.
