When the patient is attackedwith vomiting after the operation, the clamp may, however, befound troublesome, and when the pedicle is short it is inapplicablefor obvious reasons. To prevent the noxious effects of the presenceof a slough of the stump outside the abdominal wall, Mr. Wellssaturates the stump with perchloride of iron after closing the ab-dominal wound. Fig. The Ecraseur has been little used as a means of severing thepedicle. The varying size of the vessels cut through renders itnecessarily uncertain as regards the prevention of secondary hem-orrhage, an uncertainty in such a case of great moment. Mr. Baker Brown has practised largely the method of securingthe pedicle by application of the actual cautery. The pedicle isinclosed between the two blades of a clamp of peculiar shape,these are then screwed very tightly together, and a wedge-shapedcautery iron at a moderate red heat applied so as to cut throughthe pedicle. The parts are cut through slowly and deliberately,the clamp is then unscrewed, and the stump allowed to drop intothe pelvis. The blades of the clamp Avere at first connected witha hinge at one end, but an improved ca-utery clamp has been sug-gested by Mr. Chambers (see Fig. 114), in which the blades cometogether in a parallel ma
