Undoubtedly a longitudinal incision when closednarrows the gut lumen more than does a transverse, but the amount anddanger of this narrowing have been much exaggerated and the longitudinalcut is the more convenient and practical. Step 4.—Closure of the intestinal wound. (A) If the opening is very small, one or two points of Lembert sutures willsuffice, or a purse-string suture may be better (Fig. 546)..
