Let this triangle represent the preputial curtain, the base line itsfree edge, and imagine the whole as covering the glans clitoridis. 2. Pass a double threaded needle under the free edge or baseline and bring it through the paper near the apex A. 3. With a self threading needle pass the two free ends of thethread through B and C. 4. Remove all needles—cut out the top one and you have. 218 The American Practitioner 5. Tie the end at A to ditto at B. 6. Tie A to C. 7. Tie the ligatures with three knots and cut them off rather short,,as long ends irritate the parts and (I think) cause retention of urineand necessitate catheterism. When this has been done as directed the curtain, is rolled up andbecomes a hood or bar arching over the glans. Cut this bar bysnipping carefully with scissors and all the parts will fall into goodposition. Some ordinary care is required in order not to cut theligatures, but if this accident should happen just replace the severedthread with a new one. Have an extra needle threaded and at handfor this emergency, which need not arise. The time required isperhaps five minutes. The operation is very simple and chances of absorption and infection are minimized. And theglans when erect will be exposed, when flaccid it will be protected.
