Used as an ultimum refugium for threatening uterine bleeding after childbirth, the method of elastic body constriction according to Momburg's is not without, as you know, major disadvantages and dangers; the same should be said about the tamponation of the uterine cavity recommended for such cases by Dhgssen. In view of this, Gauss (Zentr. F. Gyn.,. 1920, No. 1) recalls the method of isolated pressing of the abdominal aorta using a special Aderpresse, which he proposed back in 1910.
