CHAPTER III.
METHODS OF THE SECOND CLASS — CLAMPS — COVERED AND UNCOVERED OPERATION — INSTRUMENTS — FOUR VARIOUS STEPS — OBJECTION TO THIS METHOD — TIME TO REMOVE THE CLAMPS — LIGATURE — OF THE CORD AND ITS ENVELOPES — OF THE CORD ONLY — OF THE SPERMATIC ARTERY — OF THE EFFERENT CANAL — SUBCUTANEOUS OPERATION.
Having completed the consideration of the various methods included in the first class, we propose next to examine those entering into the second, which embrace those in which certain means of pressure are applied and suffered to remain upon the cord previous to the amputation of the testicle. These are two in number, and consist of the process known as that of the clamps, and that which involves the use of the ligature.
