This union of ducts takes place in the vicinity of the prostate gland. NATURE'S METHOD OP CONTROLLING HEMORRHAGE It is well to always bear in mind that nature is a great factor in con- trolling arterial hemorrhage. To understand exactly what part nature plays when an artery is severed is knowledge which is never harmful to the surgeon, to say the least. The following occurs as soon as an artery is severed: (1) Contraction of the mouth of the vessel (B, Fig. 11) ; (2) re- traction of the vessel into its sheath (C, Fig. 11) ; (3) clot formation (D, Fig. 11) ; (4) syncope. The function of the emasculator is to assist nature in preventing pri- mary or secondary hemorrhage. This is done by crushing the cord which crimps or closes the spermatic artery, making the field more favorable for clot formation. Never place an emasculator on a cord in any position ex- cept at a right angle to the cord (Fig. 12). If the cord is severed at any other angle (Fig. 13) fatal primary hemorrhage is liable to Please note that these images are extract
