Book Description
Excerpt from North Carolina Medical Journal, Vol. 1: January, 1878 The first suture is pas; ed through the anterior ap, close along the bottom of the fissure, entered well back, and withdrawn just at the edge of the undenuded strip, which is to form the canal; again made to enter the Opposite lip at a similar point, so as to emerge on the vaginal surface at a point corresponding to the one of entrance in the other lip. Three or four sutures are usually sufficient for each side. A little care is required in passing the one through the crown of the cervix and approximating the edges of the 08. If the sutures for both sides be passed before securing any of them, much difficulty will be avoided. An undue ow of blood may usually be checked bv tightening the tourniquet, when one is used. Should this fail. Twisting of the wire next to the bottom of the angle will easily control it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
