| Abstract: | Prolapse is such a common disabling condition that it is no wonder it has attracted the attention of the medical world ever since the time of Galen. It is only in comparatively recent years that it has to come to be realised that the real cure for it is surgical. The operations that have been devised are legion. Two factors may be said to have contributed to this, namely, the complexity of the lesion and the nature and mechanics of the uterine supports, which until recently were little understood. In Great Britain the operative treatment has been standardised and the routine procedure is the Manchester operation. |
