The edges of thewound may be united with several sutures of rather heavier silkwhich go through the entire thickness of the lip down to, but notincluding, the mucous membrane, and these may be placed so asto control the hemorrhage at the same time. There are then appliedadditional sutures of finer silk that bring the edges of the woundaccurately together. As a result, we have a small, rounded, puck-ered opening, representing the mouth, which is formed entirely from.
