ARTERIAL TUMORS. 787 sei*ies of double loops, one white, and the other black, on each side, as in fig. the white loops should now be cut on one side, and the black loops on theother, leaving hanging ends of thread of corresponding colors. Fig. 291. Fig. Erichsens mode of ligating vascular tumors. The tumor may now be strangulated by drawing down and knotting firmlyeach pair of white threads on one side and each pair of black ones on the this way the tumor is divided into segments, each of which is strangulated,by a noose and a knot: by black nooses and white knots on one side, by whitenooses and black knots on the other, as in fig. 292. d. Starvation may be attempted in one of two ways; either by tying thearteries which immediately feed the tumor, or else by occluding the main vesselswhich lead to the parts where the tumor is located. Of these two methods,preference should always, if possible, be given to the former, on account of itshaving a more direct and controlling influence upon the arrest of the morbidgrowth ; when the swelling is very large, the two plans may sometimes be advan-tageously combined. Ligation of the arteries in the immediate vicinity of thetumor should be performed at several points at once, otherwise b
