Dr. Goelet. Ligation of the base of the broadligaments per vaginam, including the uterine arteries, for fibroids of the uterus. (American Medico-Surgical Bulletin, Iune 1894, - by reference to the American Journal of Obstetrics, Iuli, 1894, p. 158). Ligation of the wide ligaments and uterine arteries from the side of the vagina to heal the fibroid of the uterus.

Goelet performs the aforementioned dressing in order to reduce bleeding and the growth of fibroid tumors of the uterus and believes that this easy operation can replace the more risky one - removal of the entire uterus, or that the first, serving as a preparatory phase for the 2nd, may make the latter unnecessary.
