Example Sentences
No fact is more evident than the eccentric hypertrophy of the body of the uterus, and this without the uterus being procident or even prolapsed.
The uterus was found to be no longer somewhat procident, owing evidently to the diminished size and weight, and a pessary was thought unnecessary.
Thus the procident uterus may be removed, either by the knife alone, by the ligature, or by excision, immediately after the ligature ; this combined method being probably the safest and most desirable.
One more name is important: George A. Peters, at the Hospital for Sick Children, in July 1899 made the first contribution of the Department of Surgery to the international scientific literature when he successfully transplanted the ureters into the rectum of a two-year-old child who had both an ectopic bladder and a procident rectum.
