When studying obstetrics, a good obstetric phantom is of no small importance as a teaching aid. Teaching operational obstetrics is unthinkable even without it, since one reading cannot be so imprinted in the minds of listeners as the direct application of one or another technique by themselves, and one has to reckon with a number of details, like at the bedside of a woman in labor. No matter how great the clinic is, a number of obstetric operations, due to the rarity of their use, remains unseen by the majority of those involved. I will point out, for example, the operation spondylotomia, evisceratio, decapitatio, the imposition of forceps on the head when presenting the face, etc. That is why the obstetric phantom is an inevitable companion of the study of obstetrics. Recently, a number of improvements have been proposed in this direction. So ex. Schwabe arranged a device with a variable pelvis, on which you can get a normal and narrow pelvis.

Eversion of the uterus after childbirth is extremely rare. So, according to Braun, for 250,000 births from the Vienna Obstetric Clinic there was not a single case of eversion, Winkel for 17,000 births, Benham for 100,000 births from the Dublin maternity hospital, Beckmann for 200,000 births from the St. Petersburg maternity hospital, not a single one was observed case of eversion. It depends on the fact that eversion with the correct management of childbirth and mainly the postpartum period occurs extremely rarely. Most authors at least consider the crude methods used during childbirth to isolate the placenta by poor midwives or, more often than not, simple midwives, as the most common causes of eversion. The etiology and symptomatology of postpartum inversion of the uterus have been sufficiently elucidated, while the treatment of especially old forms of it presents many controversial points, as a result of which I would allow myself here to cite one case of postpartum inversion of the uterus that I observed in the hospital of Mary Magdalene and is of some interest in relation.

Vaginal puncture and incision are the oldest methods of vaginal ovariotomy; this way and this method of treatment seemed advisable because a cure was repeatedly observed with spontaneous rupture of cysts in the vagina.

Without a little three years ago, in one of the meetings of the IMPERIAL Caucasian Medical Society, in the form of a collegial discussion of various events tending to streamline obstetric care, I submitted my report on the development of the “babichyago” case in Russia
