It is tied high up and cut otT, and the stump is droppedinto the abdomen (Fig. 832). If the sac be congenital it is divided into twoparts: the distal portion is used to make a tunic for the testicle and the proximalportion is treated as above directed. The cord is not disturbed, and it is be- SunSpiniProtf:. Fig. 830.—Fergusons operation: The semi-lunar skin incision (Jour. Am. ).

The veins in the cord shouldnot be touched unless a varicocele also exists. Any excessive quantity ofsubserous adipose tissue should be removed. The next step in the operation isto restore the structures to their normal position; and one should remember that
