The Sac.—-The peritoneal sac of the hernia should usually be opened and dissectedfree quite within the internal ring—i. e., all the adhesions which the peritonaeum hasformed to the ring should be separated. Tension is then made upon the sac, which issutured at its base and resected. The tension should be such that when the sac is re-sected the sutured base will retract quite within the Fig. 37.—a, normal internal ring; b,enlarged internal ring; c. unclosedtriangle ; d, abdominal wall; h, her-nial sac ; p. peritonasum ; /, re-sected at site of internal ring; /,triangle, reformed by closure of pill-ars of the canal.
