Branches of the internal cutaneous nerve lie infront, and the long saphenous lies deeper and to the outer side of the vessel. The Operation.—Place the limb as in the preceding operation, and makean incision about four inches in length along the inner border of the sar-torius muscle; divide the tissues down to the fascia lata, draw the sartoriusto the outer side, and the pulsation of the vessel can be felt and perhapsseen beneath the fascia; cautiously open the fascia lata and the sheath ofthe vessel, and pass the needle from within outward. The presence of abroad sartorius muscle diminishes the size of the triangle, correspondinglycovers the vessel
