The surgeon then passes his finger into the sac, and feels forthe stricture; if at the abdominal ring, he introduces the blunt-pointedbistoury between the sac and the ring, slitting the latter directly upwards,till the aperture is large enough to allow of the return of the parts; if thestricture is above the ring, he follows it with the knife still in the samedirection, and anterior to it, opposite the middle of the mouth of the sac,till the dilatation is sufficient to allow his finger to slip into the cavity ofthe abdomen; after which the hernia is to be pushed up, or, if not in a fitstate for that purpose, to be treated as mentioned in a former parts anterior to the sac above the ring, and divided by the knife, arethe tendons of the transversalis and internal oblique muscles. If the stric-ture is within the sac, still the same direction is to be preserv
