The first incision is thus com-pleted as an inverted U, the convex end of which is situated in 154 INJURIES TO THE PERINEUM AND PELVIC DIAPHRAGM the recto-vaginal septum above, the legs of the U extendingthrough the scar at either side to the skin. From each end of this incision, that is at the junction ofvaginal mucosa and skin and at right angles to it, a short antero-posterior cut is made. The anterior end of this last incision is I.
