Represents the director held in the situation for the first incision of the operation. The left side of the bladder having been removed, the extremity of the instrument is seen projecting some way into the base of the viscus, which now sinks lower into the hollow of the rectum, the latter being entirely empty. It will be observed how the slight curve of the staff adapts it to the concavity of the bladder, and prevents it being entangled by a fold during the depression of the handle, preparatory to the section of the prostate. The parts being viewed obliquely from behind, the prostate, urethra, &c. are but imperfectly seen.
