. Bovine obstetrics. Veterinary obstetrics. Fig. 65. The skin of the neck, which may now be drawn from the vulva, is incised as far as the vulva. The skin over the ribs and back is separated with the large spatula, the left hand resting upon the skin, always following the movements of the spatula. The skinning may be readily done with the hand. It is of great importance to separate the skin well; unless this is done many difficulties are encountered later. "When the hand can pass below the skin all over the thorax as far as the last rib, the costal cartilages at the sternum are cut from the last rib to the first one— that is, postero-anteriorly—with the sharp probe-pointed hook. This may also be done with Hinze's saw or the sliding bistoury. Next the ribs are severed as close as possible to the verte- bral column with the sharp hook. The chisel may be used instead. The incisions with the hook are made from the last rib to the first one. One must be careful not to cut the vertebral attachments of the ribs first and then the sternal, as it is then exceedingly difficult to sever the costal cartilages after they are detached from the vertebral column. The hand may extract the thoracic wall after it is removed in this way (fig. 66). The other thoracic wall is removed in the same manner. By pulling on the skin fiaps the trochanters of the calf the pelvic inlet and its back into the pelvic canal. The skin is incised as far as the vulva. The intestines are detached with the hand and removed (exenteratio). The skin over the back as far as the sacrum is separated by hand, if necessary with the spatula, always stretching the skin flaps.
