About rotropritoneal care of the leg and the use of elastic constriction in myomotomies

Abstract

Briefly, the case histories of 44 myomotomized according to the method introduced by prof. Cuzzi since 1890, A. indicates a significant simplification achieved when applying this method. The operation is performed as follows: an incision of the abdomen and peritoneum of the corresponding size is made; the uterus is freed from adhesions and, in its supravaginal part, is pulled over by a well-disinfected thin Nelaton catheter, the ends of which are folded crosswise and sutured with silk; the uterus is amputated an inch above the constriction; the stump is closed only by the peritoneum surrounding it, and finally, after the toilet, the abdominal wound is sutured.
