After either operation the patient may be unableto void his urine, but this complication is more frequent afterthe ligature operation. The author has never known infectionto occur from either of these operations, but he has seen it incases where the pile-tumors were excised and the wound closedwith catsrut or other sutures. This is true of the ordinary hospital ease where a thick silk ligature is employed, but theauthor has recently adopted the use of a linen ligature which cuts out in a few days andmaterially shortens convalescence. 443 DISEAS
