Transactions of the Southern Surgical and Gynecological Association . aortic bifurca-tion and both common iliacs. The peritoneum over the siteselected is elevated, snipped and stretched, the artery byblunt dissection is isolated from the vein and elevated, theloaded ligature carrier directed toward the patients left ispassed under the artery, and the iliac doubly tied and inter-locked by heavy braided silk. One hourglass suture sufficesto repair the peritoneal rent. The table is brought to a level.The abdomen closed in the usual manner. The entire proced-ure can be accomplished in a few minutes. Elevation of theaffected limb is meanwhile maintained. For the completion of this report the exarticulation isbriefly described: A circular incision at the selected heightis made about the limb through skin and fascia, observinga line parallel to the line from pubic spine to iliac crest, thatthe anal side of the flap may be longer than the lateral.Selecting a point midway between the head of the greatertrochanter and the crest of the ilium, a three inch knife is.
