Whilst the trachea is thusdrawn upwards and steadied, the operator places the knife upon thegroove of the hook, and pierces the trachea to a depth of lcm: he thendivides the anterior wall as far as it has been exposed. Great caremust be taken to avoid cutting into the reflected tissue or the thyroidgland, for a violent haemorrhage might ensue, and the blood enterinto the opened trachea. The thyroid body is therefore drawn down-wards with a strabismus hook. Fig. 520 295Fig. Tracheotomy. 12.
