CASE 130.-The operation was performed for menorrhagia. The left ovary was cystic and of the size of an egg and was removed with the tumour. The right ovary was not removed. CASE 131.-A left ovarian cyst of the size of a uterus at seven months. The pedicle was twisted. There were slight adhesions; the pedicle was thick and oedematous ; it was tied in sections. The right Fallopian tube was dilated to the size of the thumb and was adherent in the pelvis. The right ovary formed a cyst of the size of a hen's egg. CASE 132.-A small ovarian cyst of the size of a hen's egg, which caused menorrhagia. CASE 133.-A left ovarian cyst of the size of an orange; it was adherent to the rectum and elsewhere in the pelvis. The right ovary was decidedly enlarged so it was removed as well. CASE 134.-The left Fallopian tube was dilated to the size of a cocoanut and contained a tubal mole. It was removed. There were many recent adhesions. CASE 135.-A left ovarian cyst of the size of a uterus at term. It had grown between the layers of the broad ligament and raised the peritoneum from the left iliac fossa, so that the peritoneal surface of the tumour was continuous with that of the abdominal wall some two to three inches to the left of the incision. It was enucleated. Several inches of the left ureter had to be dissected from the base of the cyst. It contained half a bucketful of thin brown fluid. There were papillary growths on the inner surface of the cyst. There were a right ovarian cyst of the size of a duck's egg and a right hydrosalpinx. CASE 136.-A tumour of the size of a uterus at four months. The right ovarv was not removed. CASE 137.-A left ovarian cyst of the size of a small cocoanut. The left Fallopian tube was dilated. The mass was fixed everywhere in the pelvis and above to the bladder and omentum. The right Fallopian tube was dilated to the size of the thumb and was adherent to the ovary; this was also removed. CASE 138.-A left ovarian cyst containing nine pints of strawcoloured fluid. There was a right ovarian cyst of the size of a duck's egg. CASE 139.-Both sets of uterine appendages were removed with the uterus. The lower angle of the wound broke down about two weeks after operation and a sinus formed from which in a few days large quantities of pure bile passed daily. This gradually diminished and the wound finally closed completely. CASE 140.-A right ovarian cyst of the size of a child's head and containing straw-coloured fluid. There was a left dermoid ovarian cyst. CASE 141.-A degenerating subperitoneal fibroid of the size of a uterus at term. It was supposed to be an ovarian cyst. The uterus was not lengthened. The tumour was found on section to be undergoing extensive cystic change and contained much jelly-like material. The right ovary was not removed. Omental adhesions were present. CASE 142.-A large fibroid in the anterior uterine wall which caused a cu rious twisting ot the uterus on its axis and partly beneath the peritoneum, so that the tumour could not be brought out of the wound till the peritoneum had be...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
