The first mention of hernia of the pelvic organs was made by Soranus, of Ephesus, early in the second cen- tury. His work on "Diseases of Women," written in Greek, was translated into Latin by CasKus Aurelianus in the fifth century. It is the only gynecologic work pre- served from antiquity. He describes a case in which "the intestine, preceded by the ovary, descended into the labium," evidently an inguinal hernia. The literature of the subject really begins with Dor- ing,2 followed by Oelhafen3 and Oneidas.4 In 1716 Louis Leger de Gouey, of Rouen, described a case of in- trahernial tubal pregnancy. In 1755 Haller5 quoted a case of Bessiere, a celebrated surgeon of Paris a cen- tury before, who found the ovary and the fimbriated por- tion of the Fallopian tube, together with intestine, in an inguinal tumor. He also cited a case of ischiatie hernia of the uterus, ovary and tube on which Papen operated. Petit, in his anatomic works, also quotes an early case by Verdier. A case of double inguinal hernia successfully operated on by Percival Pott in 1756 has Fig. 1.—T. S. Cullen's case. Ovary and tube in an inguinal been freely quoted.

Congenital hernia? of the ovary other than inguinal do not occur, for the reason that the anatomic relations do not favor patulous orifices and that the ovary comes near to these openings only at a considerable period after birth. That the position of the ovary may be a factor favoring hernia is evidenced also by the large number of ovarian hernise occurring in cases of congenital mal- formation, as in cases of hermaphroditism, bicornate uterus, absent uterus, etc. In these cases the descent of the ovary is retarded or arrested in a position favoring entrance to the inguinal ring. In some cases of hermaphroditism, in which the indi- vidual approaches the male type in other respects, it may also approach that type in this, that the ovary is affected by the same influences that determine the nor- mal descent of a testicle into the inguinal ring. Indeed, this is a reasonable supposition when we consider that many of the ovaries resemble testicles so closely that a microscopic examination is necessary to make a differen- Fig.

    A DESCRIPTION OF THE APPEARANCES OBSERVED IN A CASE OF DOUBLE UTERUS, IN WHICH IMPREGNATION HAD TAKEN PLACE, WITH REMARKS ON THE STRUCTURE AND FORMATION OF THE MEMBRANES OF THE HUMAN OVUM. BY ROBERT LEE, M.D. F.R.S. SECRETARY. PHYSICIAN TO THE BRITISH LYING-IN HOSPITAL. READ MAY 22, 1832. ON the 2d of August, 1831, I was present with Dr. Sims and Mr. Morley of Leicester Square, at the examination of the body of a woman who had died eight days subsequent to parturition, from inflamma- tion of the peritoneum, appendages and veins of the uterus. She had previously borne several living children, but nothing unusual occurred during labour Downloaded from jrs.sagepub.com at MCMASTER UNIV LIBRARY on June 8, 2016 474 DR. LEE ON DOUBLE UTERUS, AND on any of these occasions. The uterine organs were found on dissection to be malf'ormed, and several re- markable appearances were observed in their struc- ture, of which the following is a short history. The accompanying preparation of the parts, with a draw- ing and model in wax, will enable the members of the Society to verify the accuracy of the descrip- tion *. The body of the uterus was cleft as it were down the middle, from the fundus to the cervix, so as to form two lateral halves which opened into the cervix, like the uterine cornua of most mammiferous animals. The cervix, os uteri, and vagina presented the or- din~ary appearances observable at the same period after delivery. The right cornu had contained the foetus, and it did not differ perceptibly in its form and size from the uterus in common cases a week after delivery.

Kharkiv Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, Kharkiv, Ukraine The aim of the clinical study was to develop a complex of treatment and rehabilitation of the reproductive function in women with tubal-peritoneal infertility using radiowaves energy during laparoscopic treatment, intraoperative prevention of adhesion with the use of an antiadhesion gel of derivative carbomethylcellulose and a complex of physiotherapy in the postoperative period. Materials and methods: the clinical study was performed in 96 women with tubal-peritoneal infertil- ity of inflammatory genesis, which included laparoscopic treatment and rehabilitation in the postoperative period. The results of our proposed clinical study allowed us to reduce the average blood loss during the operation, the duration of the postoperative bed day, the need for the prescription of analgesic and antibacterial drugs. The proposed method of treatment and rehabilitation of women with tubal-peritoneal infertility allowed us to increase the percentage of restora- tion of uterine tubes patency, the onset of uterine pregnancy, to reduce the risk of an ectopic pregnancy and reocclusion of the fallopian tubes.

  • Total Extirpation by the Vagina for Lesions of the Uterine Appendages
    352 PROGRESS OF MEDICAL SCIENCE. care must be exercised to prevent subsequent infection through the tube, by keeping the vulva protected with antiseptic gauze. If these precautions are observed, there are few abscesses which cannot be opened per vaginam with¬ out extirpating the uterus. Tubes and ovaries which are only slightly diseased should be spared as far as possible. The writer believes that the peri-uterine adhesions Mn be separated more easily by the vaginal than by the abdominal route. The statement that adherent adnexa can be enucleated more easily when they are actually seen does not carry weight, since such organs must usually be pulled out from their beds before they can be seen, so that after all the finger is really the " eye of the gynecologist.” Advantages and Disadvantages of Drainage by Mikulicz’s Method. CONDAMIN (Province Med.; Ceniralblalt fur Gynakologie, No. 50, 1804) be¬ lieves that the Mikulicz tampon is the most efficient means of arresting hemorrhage in cceliotomy when others fail. But, after the separation of ex¬ tensive adhesions, or where it is desirable to promote the encapsulation of septic foci, gauze-strips are preferable, since the Mikulicz tampon cannot be packed into small cavities like loose gauze. When the tampon is used con¬ siderable care must be exercised not to cause intestinal obstruction from undue pressure. Another disadvantage is the greater liability to ventral hernia. Salipyrin in Uterine Hemorrhage. Kayser (GcntralblaU fur Gynakologie, No. 51, 1894) reports sixteen cases of uterine hemorrhage (not due to pregnancy or malignant disease) which he treated with salipyrin in doses of fifteen grains repeated thrice daily.
