Thepedicle is now transfixed by a continuous ligature, which hastwo loops showing on one side, and one loop and two free endson the other side. (Fig. 27.) The two free ends are now passedunder the loop lying on their own side. (Fig. 28.) The twoloops on the other side, still held on the fingers, are now dividedby scissors, and the ends of the middle ligatures surroundingthe middle of the pedicle, and including the ligatures whichsurround the two sides of the pedicle, are tied as tightly aspossible. The lateral ligatures are then tied one after the a complete interlocking ligature holds the pedicle. () The same process may be carried out with four or five,or indeed any number
