ABOUT PENETRATING RUPTURES OF THE VARNALS OF THE VAGINA IN GIVING WOMEN

Complete separation of the vagina or one of the vaults of its uterus with the release of the ovum into the peritoneal cavity belongs to the number of rare complications of the labor act; at least, the meager information that I have obtained from the literature confirms this, although, of course, at the present time it is not possible to determine with accuracy how often this complication occurs, for the reason that ruptures of the arches of the sleeves in some cases occur independently , in others - they occur because of negligence in the production of some obstetric operations. Finally, there may be confused cases in which it is completely impossible to find out what was the main reason for the vaginal tear: obstetric surgery or some other condition that contributed to its spontaneous origin. Spiegelberg, referring to the statistics of M. Clintok from the Dublin maternity hospital, says that isolated ruptures of the sleeve are fragile. Garin comes to the same conclusion on the basis of reports of our obstetric clinics and obstetric institutions.
