[Quantitative determination of mechanical properties of uterus in gravity--accidents during pregnancy (author's transl)].
Strips of myometrium, obtained from patients during caesarean section, were measured for strainability and strength and statistically analysed. An anatomic interpretation of the findings is discussed. The data obtained will facilitate calculation of forces and their likely behavior in accidents during pregnancy.
