Hegar places silver-wire sutures below thefor-ceps (or clamp) before exsection of the vaginal fold. I prefer acontinuous suture in layers. I cut off the mucous fold, stretch the.

Stolz41 has devised a very ingenious method of suturing in anteriorcolporrhaphy. After freshening an oval surface similar to that shownin Fig. 287, two curved needles are threaded on a silk suture, oneneedle at each end, and beginning near the cervix the suture ispassed in and out of the whole circumference of the wound, abouthalf an inch from the edge something like the draw-string of a tobacco PROLAPSE OF THE GENITAL ORGANS. 507 pouch (Fig. 288). The denuded surface is pushed inward toward thebladder and the ends of the silk closely drawn and tied. Tins was themost expeditious procedure known before the use of the continuoussuture in layers, which should be given the preference.
