The steps of the operation, as shown in Figs. 111-117, are very simple. Thefirst step consists in placing a continuous row of Lembcrt sutures, as shown inFig. Ill, the stomach and intestine being still intact. The next step consists inmaking in each of these two organs an opening a little shorter than the row ofsutures that has just been applied. (Figs. 112 and 113.) The opening should be.
