The replaced uterus must be secured in its normal position. It is not my intention to give a description of the polymorphean appa-ratuses which have been recommended for the maintenance of the uterusin its normal position. I use the hard rubber pessary according to Hodge(Fig. 56) or Thomas (Fig. 57), which must be kept in readiness in differ-ent sizes from 6 to 12 cm.
