Wertheim's operation II
Associated persons:
Ernst Wertheim
Description:
Operation for prolapse of uterus. Wertheim had made a contribution in this area in 1899 with his interposition method, which involved covering the uterus with vaginal lobes. He then developed a version of the operation that is known as suspension and superposition, involving amputation of the cervix, vaginofixation, and posterior colporraphy.
