In 45-year-old women,I woman in labor, labor was completed by one young doctor with difficult forceps in 1867. Prof. Keith saw her after 2 weeks. Vagina and rectum represented one cavity; the ruptured bowel extended several inches; the edges of the gap seemed uneven, the suppuration was terrible, some parts of the sleeve were close to necrosis. The doctor, who removed the child with forceps, performed the operation, being sick, why the damage was so extensive. After 6 months, the patient did not recover and the feces were spilled out involuntarily with every movement of the patient.
