II—6 82 SURGICAL TREATMENT care, and the patient should be left quietly on the table for some timein the position in which he was operated upon while the parts become adjustedto new conditions, and hemostasis becomes established. The operation of decompression may be done as a preliminary to a latercurative operation. It was once the practice to decompress directly overthe tumor (Fig. 742); but the extensive cerebral protrusions which developedbeneath the scalp unsupported by muscle lead to the selection of the twomuscle-covered sites.

The curative treatmentshould always be kept in mind,
