Operative surgery . ected tothe fixation of a troublesome movable or floating kidney. The former con-dition is quite common and usually acquired; the latter is rare and congeni-tal. The right kidney is mobile much more frequently than the left; bothmay be similarly affected together, the left rarely alone. 826 OPERATIVE SURGERY. lite Operation.—Place tlie patient with the sound side resting on a hardpillow so as to make the field of operation convex and to increase the dis-tance between the last rib and the crest of the ilium (Figs. 103G and 1037);locate the twelfth rib and half an inch below
