![743. An urethra laid open to show a false passage made by bougies, through nearly the whole length of the canal. A bristle and a bougie point out the extent of the new passage. 744. A bladder and urethra laid open. There was a stricture in the urethra, and a new or false passage has been made for some extent into the corpus spongiosum urethrae, by the improper use of bougies. A large bougie is placed in the natural canal, and passes from the sound to the unsound part of the urethra; and a small one is introduced into the false passage. The urethra at the bulb is extensively ulcerated; the crura penis and bulbous part of the urethra are all blended together by inflam- mation and suppuration; and large sinuses are seen leading from the urethra into the surrounding parts. 745. A bladder and urethra laid open. The bladder is much thickened, and both it and the urethra are incrusted with calculous matter. [There is a false passage through nearly the whole extent of the urethra, appa- rently made by the improper use of instruments ; and bougies are placed in canals probably formed by the same means, which lead towards the perinaeum.] 3. Ulceration and Abscess in consequence of Stricture. \ 1 • \ .1 . , \ . J ■ \ . , .4 4 ' J(.l . . i ./ ; - <’ 746. A bladder much thickened and contracted, in consequence of stricture in the urethra. There is a fistulous opening from the urethra to the ex- ternal surface behind the fraenum ; and a false passage leading from the urethra at the beginning of the membranous part, in which is placed a bougie. The inner membrane of the bladder is in a diseased state, with an excrescent fungous growth arising from its right side. 747. A penis and part of the bladder; both are laid open ; the urethra has a stricture near the bulb, in consequence of which there are large fistulous openings in perinaeo; disease of the prostate gland; and great enlarge- ment of the ureters. 748. An urethra with a stricture about two inches and a half from the glans ; and fistulous canals leading from the membranous part of the urethra to the perinaeum.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0074.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
