title: [Champagne administered by spoon for peritonitis after cesarean section. From the history of obstetrics in Erlangen--data from about 60,000 deliveries in 100 years].
abstract: The University of Erlangen has been engaged in clinical obstetrics for approximately 170 years. During this time, Erlangen University's delivery house, opened in 1828 and at first having considerably less than 50 births a year, developed into a perinatal centre with approximately 1,700 births a year. For the period from 1880 to 1981, a group of MD students reviewed the existing records and evaluated 60,000 births with respect to more than 40 parameters. Part of the results obtained are shown with special reference to operative obstetrics. Apart from the general influence of the scientific development on decisions and results within obstetrics, individual factors were also recognizable, factors which are linked with the experiences, insights and specialized working areas of the particular head of the hospital.
