    S ON THE OPEEATION OF r^' • OPENING THE URETHEA^^Jl <a IN THR P E R I N tE U M. Bt THOMAS BRYANT. I ERE have been few subjects of late years which have ex- imore discussion or difference of opinion than the one we Ibout to consider; and there are certainly none which joeen so much influenced in their consideration by pro- );ial acrimony and personal feeling. This unfortunate ileplorable fact has doubtless led the minds of surgeons from the true points at issue, and both those who ad- I! and those who condemn its practice liave been too swayed by party feeling to form a just estimate of the of the operation. mt such an operation is both valuable and necessary in 111 cases, most men now admit; and it is with the hope may be able to define the class of cases in which such nent may be required, and to give some guides where u practice is to be adopted, that I now take up the sub- vwhich I shall illustrate by the notes of such cases as the 'dice at Guy’s Hospital has yielded to me. opening of the urethra without a staff will be deno- •'ed “perineal section;’^ and with one ^'external divi- or Syme^s operation.
