Page 21 - ... oviductus and rami laterales avarii being still intact.

The universal rule of surgery is to sacrifice no healthy organs or tissue. The suggestions brought about by a study of the genital vascular circle will aid to prevent sacrificing genital organs or...
Page 23 - ... and 3 is the straight segment of the circle; 5, 6, 7 and 8, represents the spiral segments of the circle held in position by hooks. In this cut, free from complications, may be easily decerned the utility of the spiral segment of the circle in wide ranges of motion; 10, is the interior of the circle. value to gynecologic surgery, especially per vaginam. With the traction forceps one can draw the uterus distalward sufficiently to ligate all its vessels at leisure outside the body. The future route...

Page 21 - ... severing, but may be arrested by small pressure forceps, without a ligature. Mobility and distensibility of the spiral segment of the uteroovarian vascular circle enables the gynecologist to draw the uterus oviduct and ovary into the vagina with traction forceps, where the organs may be inspected, palpated and ligatures may be applied at leisure. One of the great principles of vaginal extirpation of the genitals rests on the anatomic fact that the spiral segment of the utero-ovarian vascular...

The spiral segment of the utero-ovarian vascular circle is an organ of limited life. In pueritas it is quiescent. At puberty it springs into activity, increases in size and spirality. In the menstrual rhythm it becomes engorged with blood. In gestation it increases in volume, length and tortuosity, becoming completely...
