 ligament terminates in the capsule of the inner end of the ovary ; (3) trace the

 to which it is attached by one of the fimbriae, called the ovarian fimbria.

 Now, as it passes under, cut a hole in the posterior surface of the broad ligament 

 and follow it across the base and to the bladder. Notice, too, that as you take 

 hold of the broad ligament and lift it up, the ureter remains in place. There 

 would, seem to be little danger of including this structure in the ligature in opera-

tions on the ovary and tube. As the ureter lies on the levntor ani, there would 

 be more danger of wounding it in operations on the ischio-rectal fossa than in 

 the operation before mentioned. The ureter remains firmly embedded in the 

 deep layer of subperitoncal connective tissue, anil can not be raised by any 

 ordinary amount of traction exerted on the ovary, tube, and broad ligament.
