Operative surgery . olon. But the beneficent influ-ence of asepsis in the prevention of peritoneal inflammation, together withthe facts that the posterior incision produced greater traumatism and exposedbroader surfaces to infection, while it offered no good opportunity for intra-abdominal exploration, and placed the artificial opening inconveniently,prompted the substitution of the anterior for the posterior method in themajority of instances. The Linear Guide to the Ojjeration (Fig. 897).—Draw a direct linebetween the anterior and posterior superior spinous processes of the ilium;draw a second one perpendicular to this, one inch posterior to its center, tomark the line of the colon. Draw a third line with the center correspond-ing to the perpendicular one obliquely downward and outward four inchesin length, parallel with the lower border of the last rib and midway betweenit and the crest of the ilium, to mark the course of the primary incision.
