[Suprapubic transrectal incision for carrying out obstetrical and gynecological surgery. Analysis of 1,545 published cases].
Twelve years experience with 6,000 incisions carried out in the Tertre Rouge clinic in Le Mans and 1,545 cases published by other authors demonstrate that the suprapubic transverse incision with section of the recti abdominis muscle is becoming more popular for pelvic surgery. The technique of the operation and its variations according to different authorities in different countries are fully described. There is also a review of the indications for the procedure, to show how it can be used for caesarean section especially when carried out under epidural anaesthesia. Finally, the incision is compared with those more usually used.
