I. Yu. Yakub. — The current state of the question of the treatment of miscarriage. (Library of the Doctor, 1895, No. 4)

Only with regard to the treatment of the so-called threatening miscarriage do many modern obstetricians agree, regarding the treatment of an early miscarriage, some stand for active intervention with the help of a sharp spoon (Munde, Fehling, Dührssen), others - for a wait-and-see method and for manual (Winckel, Winter and the author). The author carefully carried out 53 miscarriages expectantly and by hand alone. Of this number, 4% were in a fever after the operation; there were no mortal outcomes. Of the 53 patients who did not give birth, there were 4, once gave birth to 11 and multiparous 38. In 40 patients, the remains of the egg had to be removed with a finger; of these last ones, only one was reeling afterwards.
