To the surgical treatment of prolapse

Abstract

Vogt (Zeit. F. Geb. u. Gyn., Bd. LXXXIX. H. 1) advises, for prolapses in women capable of conceiving, to be limited to plastic surgery on the sleeve, - anterior colporrhaphy with sutures on the bladder and colpoperineorrhaphy, levator sucking sterilization and the use of operations that correct the position of the uterus, whatever the latter may be. During childbirth in women operated on in this way, he recommends applying forceps to the rotated head with simultaneous midline episiotomy and immediate suturing of the perineal incision immediately after delivery.
