(a) Scrota1 Incision—With a rubber glove on the left hand (R) and Miles' hooked castrating knife (T) in the right hand (S), the point of the sheath (V) is grasped with the left (R) and traction made upward and forward. (Fig. 42.) Beginning well forward on the scrotum the knife is drawn backward, making an incision (U) through the skin, sub- cutaneous connective tissue and dartos only. This incision (U) should be five inches long, parallel to and one inch to the side of the raphe or median line. (Figs. 42 and 43.) When the incision or incisions are.

(b) Opening and Entering the Inguinal Canal—With the four fingers of each hand, placed back to back, separate, by tearing, the tissues down to the external abdominal ring, which is the entrance to the inguinal canal. The next step is to lubricate with Surgical Jelly the scrotal wound and the operating hand. Then proceed, by fixing the fingers in the shape of a cone (Fig. 44) and using a limited amount of force, open and enter the inguinal canal until the internal abdominal ring is reached. Remember the direction of the canal is upward and backward. The in- ternal ring is the landmark for the site of entering the abdominal cavity. You may expect to find the ring at a distance of six to ten inches above the scrotal incision, depending, of course, on the size of the animal.
