In order to attain this end, Sanger suggested that,after the removal of the child through the ordinary incision, and a temporaryelastic ligature had been placed around the cervix, a narrow strip of musculartissue should be removed by a section running at first parallel to the borders ofthe wound, but diverging outward as the section approached the peritoneal sur-face. The peritonaeum was next to be detached and allowed to cover the ex-panded portion of the Y-shaped section.
