It was freely movable. length, and on bimanual examination, with the patient under ether, it was felt as a tense band running from the right inguinal ring to a point near the summit of the tumor. Great Lengthening of the Round Ligaments.--As one end of the round ligament emerges from the inguinal canal and the other merges into the lateral and anterior aspect of the uterus, it is but natural that any uterine tumor that enlarges or draws up the uterus should at the same time cause a lengthening of the round ligament. In our experience increased lengthening of the round ligaments has not caused a corresponding diminution in their diameters. In Case 6915 the left round ligament was enormously lengthened out and almost lost in the tumor. In C. H. I. (McA.) an 89-pound subperitoneal myoma filled the abdomen. The uterus lay near the liver, and the round ligaments were greatly lengthened. Hypertrophy of the Round Ligaments.--As a rule, the round ligaments are of the usual diameters, even when myomata exist. Occasionally, however, they are greatly hypertrophied. In Case 8024 the uterus was about the size of that of a six months' pregnancy. Both round ligaments were greatly hypertrophied. Both round ligaments were greatly lengthened and thickened in Case 5103, in which the lower half of the abdomen was filled with a multinodular myomatous uterus. From an operative standpoint, it is always wise to be particularly careful that the round ligament is properly ligated. On several occasions we have seen the round ligament slip away from its ligature during the course of the operation, and considerable oozing follow. When there is much hypertrophy, th...
