Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Gynecology and Pediatry, Vol. 5: A Monthly Review of Gynecology, Obstetrics, Abdominal Surgery, and the Diseases of Children; October, 1891, to September, 1892 The opening being increased in length, the foetus was seized by the thigh and extracted. A little delay was caused by the adhesions which the scalp had formed with the poste rior portion of the sac. The attitude of the foetus had been such as to form a compact rounded mass, without any irregularities, lying in the gestation sac in such a way that the cephalic extremity was directed toward the mother's spine, while the podalic lay over the symphysis pubis. The small parts were directed to the mother's right. The cord was ligated, the child severed from the sac and removed. The placenta had been largely detached and drained of blood. Some pieces had been forced down to the lower portion of the sac (where subsequently an Opening was found which communicated with the uterus). These pieces constituted nearly one half the placenta, and were readily removed; the remainder was found to be adherent to the convolutions of the small intestine on the patient's right. Because of the attachments being so numerous and so vascular, it was thought unwise to attempt further removal. As much of the sac as it was possible to remove was cut away. The opening of the sac was narrowed by turning in the cut edges through the greater part of their extent and bring ing them together with fine silk by the Symperitoneal suture. The mouth of the sac was then stitched to the lower part of the wound. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
