This procedure insures a proper inversion of theserous coat at the mesenteric border—an essential to quick unionbetween the edges of the gut. The ring-blades of the closed anasto-mosis forceps are introduced between any two of the four suturesexcept those upon either side of the mesenteric border. The forcepsis then opened—, the blades spread apart so that one ring-bladepasses into each end of the gut. In order to facilitate the turningin, inversion, of the edges of the gut so that they may be grasped allaround by the blades of the forceps when they are closed, a strand ofcatgut may be thrown around the four stitches that unite the edgesof the gut so as to encir
