Merz. Zur Behandlung der Uterusruptur. (Archiv für Gynaekologie, Bd. XLV, Hft. 2). To the treatment of uterine rupture

From the rich material collected by the author (230 cases over the last 20 years), it is clear: 1) that uterine rupture affects mainly multiparous; 2) that the reasons for the ruptures are very diverse; 3) that the percentage of complete ruptures to incomplete ones is 4: 1; 4) that cases, left without any cure, gave the worst results; 5) that the best results were obtained with the use of drainage and 6) that quite good results (48% recovery) were also obtained with laparotomy.
