![side and behind the caput gallinaginis, just at the entrance into the bladder, forming what may be called a valve. 765. Enlarged prostate gland; the enlargement'is chiefly in its lateral portions. 766. Enlargement of the posterior part of the prostate gland. 767- A prostate gland, the posterior part of which is enlarged, and projects forwards* forming a cul de sac between the urethra and bladder. There are small calculous concretions in the ducts of the prostate gland. 768. The bladder of a gentleman, thickened and inflamed. The posterior part of the prostate gland is enlarged ; and projecting forwards, has been slit or lacerated in introducing the catheter. 769. A diseased prostate gland, with part of the bladder and urethra laid open to expose the ducts of the prostate, which are considerably enlarged ; and an encysted tumour is situated on the outer and posterior surface of the bladder, between the terminations of the ureters. 770. The bladder of a gentleman aged sixty-six, in a diseased, contracted, and exceedingly thickened state, communicating with a large cavity at its posterior part, into which the urine used to pass. [An artificial opening was accidentally made into this cavity seventeen days before the death of the patient, by a catheter being forced from the urethra through the posterior part of the prostate gland, instead of being introduced as in- tended, into the cavity of the bladder.] 771. An enlarged prostate gland, with a sacculated bladder. 772. The bladder, prostate gland, and part of the urethra of a man who died in consequence of a retention of urine: the obstruction partly arose from an enlargement of the prostate gland, generally; but more particularly from the posterior part of the gland having become so large as to form itself into a kind of tumour, there filling the orifice of the urethra, and projecting into the cavity of the bladder : besides which, there is a cal- culus in the urethra, lying on the caput gallinaginis. 773. The prostate gland considerably enlarged: the posterior part, [or what has since been called the middle lobe] is seen projecting to a great extent into the cavity of the bladder. A bougie is placed in the urethra, marking its situation. 774. A singular enlargement of the prostate gland, particularly on its left side; which has left an opening of a semilunar form leading to the urethra.
