A case of ruptured uterus during pregnancy

(Reported in the Society of Odessa Doctors on January 14, 1895).
On the evening of September 6, 1894, a pregnant woman was admitted to the gynecological department of Dr. Yuzefovich at the Odessa Jewish Hospital, which I temporarily supervised, with symptoms of septic peritonit on the 5th day after the onset of the disease. In the hospital, after the diagnosis of rupture of the pregnant uterus was made, laporatomia and amputation of the ruptured uterus were performed. The patient died on the 8th day after the operation. The gap in this case, as we will see further from the given history of the disease, occurred without any mechanical stroke, such as: fall, shock, etc. In view of the fact that the ruptures of the pregnant uterus occur extremely rarely and ethiology without ruptures occurring from outside — dark, I think it is not uninteresting to report the incident I have observed. This case is also of interest in the therapeutic relationship, the patient received proper help only on the 8th day from the onset of the disease. It can be said with more or less certainty that if this gap had been identified during the onset of the developing disease, then, with proper assistance, it would have been possible to prevent the onset of a lethal outcome.
