The surgeon's handbook on the treatment of wounded in war : a prize essay . to the outer side the anterior cruralnerve covered by the iliac fascia; the genital branch of the genito-crural nerve crosses the artery obliquely. \56 Plate XV. Ligature of the femoral artery (common femoral) below Poupartsligament (right). 1. The cutaneous incision commences at a point midway betweenthe anterior superior spine of the ilium and the symphysis pubis,2mm above Pouparts ligament, and is carried downwards for 5cm. 2. The superficial fascia is divided. 3. The subcutaneous tissue is divided; the lymphatic glands areavoided, by drawing them on one side or by removing them. 4. Division of the fascia lata. 5. The sheath of the vessel is opened, 1cm below Pouparts ligament(because immediately below it the superficial epigastric and superficialcircumflex iliac arteries are given off). 6. The femoral vein lies on the inner side of the artery, theanterior crural nerve on the outer side.

The cutaneous incision, 8 —10cm in length, is made over thesartorius, in the middle of a line drawn from anterior superior spineof the ilium to the internal condyle of the femur. 2. The sheath of the sartorius is opened, the muscle liberated anddrawn outwards till the posterior wall of the muscular sheath, whichcovers the canal, is exposed. 3. After opening the canal the artery is exposed; upon it runs theinternal saphenous nerve, behind it the femoral vein. Tali. W AML tivuosc, sartonu&-nervus
