Abstract
Acquired cicatricial narrowing of the vagina, which is quite rare, is of great interest in the therapeutic relationship for the obstetrician and gynecologist. What a serious obstacle is vaginal stenosis for a pregnant uterus during childbirth - can be seen from the article by Merz, posted in Archif für Gynäcologie, Bd XLV: for 230 cases of rupture of the pregnant uterus collected from the literature over the last 20 years, 16 caused vaginal stenosis. Timely removal of this obstacle would save 16 lives! It must be assumed that a huge number of cases, in addition, remain unpublished; in November last year (1893), together with my friend Dr. Bobkevich, I was a witness of the lethal outcome of urgent childbirth of a woman who had a second birth in the result of scarring contraction of the vagina.
