At Guys Hospital lateral lithotomy is performed on a straightstaff, by the operation known as Keys, A good description ofthe method will be found in Bryants Surgery. The si7-uctiires divided in the operation are:—i, the skin; superficial and deep fascia; 3, a few branches of the externalhaemorrhoidal vessels and nerves; 4, the transversus perineimuscle, vessels and nerve; 5, a few fibres of the accelerator urinaeand levator ani muscles; 6, the compressor urethrge muscle; 7,the membraneous portion of the urethra; and 8, the prostate.
