The author describes the surgical technique and establishes the indications for the operation. The uterus is removed from the abdomen through a laparotomy incision, and the abdominal wound is immediately and carefully sutured. This is followed by emptying the uterus, which thus remains lying outside the abdominal cavity. After 1 to 2 months, when all infection has passed, a relaprotomy is performed and the uterus is inserted back into the abdominal cavity, or, as a last resort, amputated supravaginally.
