This incision must be some millimetres longer at each endthan the incision made upon the edge of the lid. The outer leafof the lid is thus transformed into a kind of bridge, entirely freeexcept at the two ends. If this be not the case, if the bridge, atleast in its middle, be not free, the knife is to be introduced in theupper wound, and its point made to appear in the lower one; thecommunication between the two is then to be enlarged to corre-spond to the lower wound. This being done, a crescent-shaped ENTROPION. 241 piece of skin is to be excised (Fig. 39). Its size is to be deter-mined by the degree of the entropion and the amount of superflu-ous skin. To remo
