When the external genitals cannot be removed, the _testicles_ can be examined by enlarging the inguinal rings and canal, and forcing each testicle up from below, through the ring. The gland is then sectioned and, after examination, returned to the scrotum. The anterior wall of the bladder is then separated from the pubis and the tissues about rectum and prostate loosened until the hand can completely encircle the rectum and prostate. These organs and the bladder are then pulled up firmly toward the head of the cadaver, and with the cartilage-knife hugging the pubic bone the rectum is cut just above the internal sphincter, and the urethra just anteriorly to the prostate. When it is desired to get as much of the penis as possible, its attachments to the pubis are cut from the pelvic side, and the body of the penis pulled up into the pelvis, while the skin of the organ is loosened as far as the glans. The body of the penis may be severed from the glans or the glans may be freed from the prepuce and removed with the entire organ, leaving only the skin to be used for the restoration of the part. After the rectum and urethra are severed, the mass of pelvic organs is stripped up to the brim of the pelvis and removed, as given above. They are examined upon the board, opening first the _rectum_, then the _seminal vesicles_, _prostatic urethra_, _bladder_ and _prostate_. The prostatic urethra and anterior bladder-wall are cut with the small probe-pointed shears, while the prostate is cut transversely with the long section-knife. The _bladder_, _prostate_ and _seminal vesicles_ may be examined in situ, or separated from the rectum and examined outside of the body. The anterior wall of the bladder is freed from the pubis, and the lateral connections of the prostate separated. The bladder is then opened in its anterior wall by an incision from its fundus into the prostatic portion of the urethra. The prostate is then cut transversely at about its middle, the cut extending entirely through the organ. The fore-finger of the left hand is then hooked underneath the prostate, and the bladder stripped forcibly from the rectum, upward toward the pelvic brim. The base of the bladder is thus brought up into view, exposing the seminal vesicles, which are examined by transverse incisions. In the employment of any one of these methods, the urine, if it is to be saved for examination, should first be drawn through a catheter. This is also the cleanest way of emptying the bladder, particularly when it is greatly distended. The employment of force to squeeze the urine out of the bladder through the urethra is not advisable when there is any disease of bladder or urethra present.
