A text-book of practical obstetrics, comprising pregnancy, labor, and the puerpal state, and obstetric surgery . Fig. 61.—Showing Deep Suture Passed, the Loops Not Cut. the endometrium sponged out with a weak creolin solution. A10-per-cent. iodoform-gauze strip, three inches wide and one. Fig. 62.—The Same, the Loops Cut. yard long, is packed into the uterine cavity. One end of thegauze should be carried through the cervical canal into the CESAREAN SECTION. 139 vagina. This gauze not only provides for freer drainage, but isan additional safeguard against haemorrhage. During the dila-tation of the cervical canal and the passage of the gauze strip,the assistant who is controlling the haemorrhage by pressurearound the lower uterine segment relaxes his grasp. He shouldkeep up this pressure, except at these times, until the deepsutures are tied. The sutures which embrace the muscular structure of theuterus are now secured by three knots, after which the ends arecut short. The sero-serous sutures are of silk also, and interrupted.
