Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1882, Vol. 83 The first extirpation in this century of the prolapsed uterus was made by K. M. Langenbeck, for cancer, in 1813. The patient recovered, and the case was for many years the occasion of unjust doubt and criticism in the literature, until finally, thirty years after, the autopsy showed that the operation had been complete. It was Lan genbeck's description of his Operation that led Czerny to extirpate a non-prolapsed uterus through the vagina. It is needless to state that the extirpation of a prolapsed uterus is much easier and in reality an entirely different Operation from that which we are now considering, because not only the fundus uteri but also the broad liga ments and ovaries are usually outside Of the vulva and within easy reach of the ope rator. Consequently, there is no great technical difficulty in the Operation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
