Ligation of the Temporal Artery.—The incision is a 456 OPERATIONS. transverse one, one inch in length, starting from the tragusof the ear forward over the zygomatic arch (Fig. 342, I)),or a vertical one of the same length a little in front of thetragus of the ear. Divide the skin and expose the subcutaneous cellulartissue, which in this region is very dense and tissue should be broken up with a director, and theartery should be found in it about a quarter of an inch infront of the ear (Fig. 345). The temporal vein accom-panies the artery and lies nearer to the ear, and in somecases the auriculo-temporal nerve is in close relation to Fig. ?>44. Fig.
