Some remarks related to the technique and indicated for the production of cesarean section

In the course of the past year, the author had to perform a Caesar section in the Hamburg maternity hospital five times, of which 3 sections were performed according to the Porro method and 2 according to the classical method. The indications for the Porro operation were, in the first case, the narrowing of the pelvis under the influence of coxalgia, in the other, the narrowing of the pelvis due to a dense tumor of the pelvis, and, finally, in the third, the narrowing was due to the intraligamentary ovarian cyst, which turned out to be completely immobile in this case. Porro's operation was not shown, but was done due to consistent uterine atony.
