V.S. Gruzdev. On the question of a single cord ligation. (Doctor, 1895, No. 7, 8 and 9)

From the extensive literary essay given by the author, it is clear that at the present time, there are various views among obstetricians regarding the merits of this or that way of maintaining the last period. In general, the methods of conducting the last period are reduced to expectant processes (Ahlfeld) and to active intervention (Cred). The author, noting the shortcomings of both methods, asks the question, will it not be possible to have a single ligation of the umbilical cord (fruit end), smooth out the bad sides of the Cred method and Ahlfeld's method, while preserving their advantages.
