ion for seven days, in which he performed abdominal section.
Recovery of the woman without abortion ensued. The Revue de Chirurgien
1887, contains an account of a woman who suffered internal
strangulation, on whom celiotomy was performed; she recovered in
twenty-five days, and did not miscarry, which shows that severe injury
to the intestine with operative interference does not necessarily
interrupt pregnancy. Gilmore, without inducing abortion, extirpated the
kidney of a negress, aged thirty-three, for severe and constant pain.
Tiffany removed the kidney of a woman of twenty-seven, five months
pregnant, without interruption of this or subsequent pregnancies. The
child was living. He says that Fancon cites instances of operation
without abortion.

Lovort describes an enucleation of the eye in the second month of
pregnancy. Pilcher cites the instance of a woman of fifty-eight, eight
months in her fourth pregnancy, whose breast and axilla he removed
without interruption of pregnancy. Robson, Polaillon, and Coen report
similar instances.

Rein speaks of the removal of an enormous echinococcus cyst of the
omentum without interruption of pregnancy. Robson reports a
multi-locular cyst of the ovary with extensive adhesions of the uterus,
removed at the tenth week of pregnancy and ovariotomy performed without
any interruption of the ordinary course of labor. Russell cites the
instance of a woman who was successfully tapped at the sixth month of
pregnancy.

McLean speaks of a successful amputation during pregnancy; Napper, one
of the arm; Nicod, one of the arm; Russell, an amputation through the
shoulder joint for an injury during pregnancy, with delivery and
recovery; and Vesey speaks of amputation for compound fracture of the
arm, labor following ten hours afterward with recovery. Keen reports
the successful performance of a hip-joint amputation for malignant
disease of the femur during pregnancy. The patient, who was five months
advanced in gestation, recovered without aborting.

Robson reports a case of strangulated hernia in the third month of
pregnancy with stercoraceous vomiting. He performed herniotomy in the
femoral region, and there was a safe delivery at full term. In the
second month of pregnancy he also rotated an ovarian tumor causing
acute symptoms and afterward performed ovariotomy without interfering
with pregnancy. Mann quotes Munde in speaking of an instance of removal
of elephantiasis of the vulva withou
