Author Description

Excerpt from Transactions of the Section on Gynecology of the College of Physicians, Vol. 1 The first case, Mrs. B., a orid-looking German woman, had been subjected to operation by an experienced abdominal sur geon between three and four years before coming under observa tion. She stated that a tubal abscess had been treated at that time. Celiotomy was performed, from which the patient made a good recovery. She continued in comfortable health for several months, when she began to notice an enlargement of the abdo men, especially prominent in the left epigastrie region. As this increase in size continued she suffered from sharp pains in this region, for Which she sought relief at the various gynecological clinics of this city. She first returned to the operator who had originally treated her, and was informed by him that she must not allow a further operation, as it would certainly prove fatal.
