About this book
A Text-book of Diseases of Women by Charles B. Penrose presents a revised sixth edition, with illustrations and an author identified as formerly a professor of gynecology. The explanation of the knee-chest position describes the position of the face, breast and thighs, and the movement of the pelvic organs under gravity. The discussion of the Sims speculum calls the instrument the most useful for exposing the cervix during minor gynecological operations with the woman in several positions.
The treatment discussion calls the measures described only palliative, saying that the treatment relieves pain but will not cure well-established chronic salpingitis. The surgical description explains how sutures unite the peritoneal layers of the broad ligament and secure the bladder’s peritoneal covering to the cervical stump.
