Dr. Holdens technique is well shown in the accompanying figures. Thearea of internal denudation is triangular, the apex of the triangle lying from4 to 6 cm. from the outlet in the median line. If the limits of the denuda-tion are outlined by a sharp knife the mucosa is easily removed in strips withthe Emmet scissors.
