Journal Of Orificial Surgery 1895 Vol 3 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Journal of Orificial Surgery, Vol. 6: 1897-98 Examining more closely, now, the vaginal walls, we will do what we can with scissors and curette in the way of smoothing the sur face, after which, by the aid of the rectal bivalve, we will give the vaginal walls all the tension they will bear without causing a rent. Having accomplished this, let us give attention to the parts about the pudenda. First of all, with the spud end of the hysterectomy knife we will loosen the hood of the clitoris and clear away the smegma, smearing the parts with lanoline. We will now clip away the roughened and hardened projections about the orifices of the urethra and vulva, after which we will amputate the thickened and hardened margins of the labia minora. There is little bleeding, as the parts are so lifeless. By a continuous thread of fine catgut we will close the margins of the wound made by the removal of the labia minora.
