Operative surgery, for students and practitioners . Fig. 21.—Suture of Tendon. A, ends of divided tendon united with mattress suture;B, upper end of tendon split and turned down to meet lower end. each t-aking a good secure bite in the muscle, or several mattresssutures may be used for this purpose. If the muscle has been dividedalong the course of its fibers,—, between its fibers,—several in-terrupted catgut sutures will usually suffice to retain its edges inapposition. If the sheath of a broad muscle has been divided,—for exam-ple, the sheath of the rectus,—care should be taken to reunite theedges of the sheath accurately with chromicized catgut. In operations for the cure of hernias the edges of the musclesor of the aponeurosis are united with a non-absorbable suture ma-terial,—silk, silk-wonn gut. kangaroo tendon, or silver wire,—withthe idea of leaving these as permanent sutures to retain the partsin close apposition for a considerable length of time. 36 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS.
