Whenlateral flaps are made, the flap containing the large vessels should be con-structed last. The mixed double flap is a modification of the preceding, and sometimescalled Sedillots method. The fiaps are made by transfixion, as before, butare more superficial, the knife not being brought in contact with the remaining muscles and vessels are divided by a circular incision, andthe amputation completed as before described. In this instance the flapsare thinner and shorter than in the precedi
