e, which ishandled this way, this completes the anesthesia and the operationcan proceed absolutely without any pain and by any method pre-ferred by the operator. An existing varicocele or any other complication should be dealtwith now and requires no further infiltration. The testicle may alsobe exposed and handled if necessary. It should be borne in mind,however, that any undue traction upon the cord by pulling upon theparts within the cavity will cause pain, but none is othermse ex-perienced. The neck of the sac can now be closed^—by crushing,if large, and ligated; or sutured, if preferred. If the above technic is followed absolutely no pain should be feltby the patient; where pain is inflicted the technic is at fault.
