A masterly stroke or performance. Applied to a mode of introducing the sound or catheter into the bladder, which consists in first passing it with its convexity towards the abdomen of the patient, and giving it a half turn towards the right groin, when its extremity has reached the root of the penis under the sysmphysis pubis. There is no advantage in this mode of introduction.
