A treatise on the operations of surgery : with a description and representation of the inrstruments [sic] used in performing them : to which is prefixed an introduction on the nature and treatment of wounds, abscesses, and ulcers . the la-teral operation. B. The gorget ufed upon children underfive years of age, in the lateral operation. A gorget between the fizes of thefe two,will be fit for boys from five years of age tofifteen or fixteen. Thefe inftruments are hollow for the pa£*fage of the forceps into the bladder; and theirhandles lie flanting, that they may the morereadily be carried through the wound of theproftate, which is made obliquely on the leftfide of it. The beak at the extremity of thegorget mufl be fmaller than the groove ofthe ftafF which is cut upon, becaufe it is tobe received in the groove. Care fhould betaken that the edges of the gorget near thebeak are not fharp, left, inflead of dilating thewound as it ought, it fhould only cut on eachfide when introduced; in which cafe, it wouldbe difficult to carry the forceps into thebladder.
