On Amputation of the Cervix Uteri in Certain Forms of Procidentia, and on Complete Eversion of the Cervix Uteri (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book delves into the historical definitions, analyses, and treatment methods for prolapsed uteri, a condition whereby the uterus shifts from its regular pelvic position downward, often migrating outside the vagina. The author argues for a reassessment of both the causes and treatments for this condition, as its primary source is not uterine hypertrophy, but rather an elongated cervix that occurs during the natural relaxation of childbirth. This theory challenges the previously held medical consensus and sets forth a new argument for modern treatment, primarily surgical amputation of the cervix, in place of the ineffective pessaries, episiorrhaphy, or etyWorhaphy that were the only methods of treating prolapsed uteri at the time of writing. The author's research provides insight into a previously misunderstood medical condition, challenging the medical orthodoxy of the late 19th century and expanding our understanding of women's health.
