This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...pedicle or root. They are removed by being twisted off with forceps, by incision, by ligature and incision, by means of the cautery (Paquelin's), or by the ecraseur. Carcinoma of the Cervix Uteri. Cancer of the neck of the womb. Its most prominent symptom in the majority of cases is haemorrhage. The treatment of this condition is either palliative or radical. By palliative treatment is understood the removal of as much as possible of the cancerous mass by means of the finger and curette, and the destruction of the tissue, which it is impossible to remove by this procedure, with the thermo-cautery (Paquelin's).

Cystoccle (from the Greek cystis, bladder, and cele, a tumor). A prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall, which brings down with it the bladder. Colpocele. Gr. colpos, vagina, and cele, tumor. Descent of the vaginal wall. Every cystocele is a colpocele. The condition is frequently a consequence of labor. The operation performed for its relief is known as anterior colporrhaphy (colpos, vagina, and rliaphia, a suturing), which means the bringing together of the relaxed vaginal tissues by sutures. Rectocele. A mixed word from the Latin rectum and the Greek cde, tumor. A prolapsus or relaxation of the posterior wall of the vagina, which brings with it the rectum. This occurs in most instances as a consequence of childbirth. Amputation of the Cervix Uteri. The removal of the cervix. This is performed for prolapsus of the uterus; also, for hypertrophic elongation...
