Delivery took place twelve hours after the operation, the mother
recovering, but the child was lost. Galabin had a case of
ovariotomy performed on a woman in the sixth month of pregnancy
without interruption of pregnancy; Potter had a case of double
ovariotomy with safe delivery at term; and Storry had a similar
case. Jacobson cites a case of vaginal lithotomy in a patient six
and a half months pregnant, with normal delivery at full term.
Tiffany quotes Keelan's description of a woman of thirty-five, in
the eighth month of pregnancy, from whom he removed a stone
weighing 12 1/2 ounces and measuring 2 by 2 1/2 inches, with
subsequent recovery and continuation of pregnancy. Rydygier
mentions a case of obstruction of the intestine during the sixth
month of gestation, showing symptoms of strangulation 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.
