The ban- dage must not be removed until all the bloodvessels have been ligated (Fig, 67). The wound and its neighborhood are then thoroughly irrigated with an antiseptic solution and closed with stitches; the skin is also stitched at the same time. The different forms of stitching are illustrated on page 314. The whole wound is to be covered with a permanent antiseptic dressing. (For further details, see Treatment of Wounds.) Amputation by means of a Circular Section. Cut through the skin of the affected extremity to the fascia, making a complete circle around the mem- ber. Pull this back and have it held by an assistant, he pulling the skin toward the body as far as possible. It may be necessary to dissect the skin and the cellular tissue from the under layer of the skin. After that make a sharp, clean cut, entirely circular, close to the edge of the skin which is pulled back, amputating all the muscles, and finally cut with bone forceps (Fig. 65, b, page 296), or saw through the bone. "While cutting through the bone it is necessary for the assistant to pull back the soft tissues as far as he possibly can toward the body, either with his hands or by means of a linen compress which has been dipjjed into an antiseptic solution. In cases where amputation of the extremities has to be performed, where there are two bones, as in the forearm, it is necessary to cut the soft tissues which are located between the bones. Flap Amputation. We cut two half-moon-shaped flaps of the skin and separate them from the fasciae in which they are l
