Excerpt from Lectures on the Treatment of Fibroid Tumors of the Uterus: Medical, Electrical and Surgical It was the lot of the writer of these lectures to have entered the practice of gynecology at the dawn of antiseptic surgery. With the possibilities revealed by this great advance, for fifteen years, the surgeons of civilization have been struggling toward perfection. In a little more than a decade wonders have been accomplished and surgery developed to a science. During this period of unprecedented activity the treatment of fibroids of the uterus has received a large share of attention and may now be said to have reached as high state of perfection as any other branch of surgery. The benign nature of these tumors, their slow development, their small mortality without treatment made patients reluctant to accept the radical operations. Hence minor medical and surgical means were sought and persistently cultivated to the limits of their possibilities, Ergot, electricity, the Battey-Tait operation and ligation of the broad ligaments are minor treatments which have relieved much suffering, cured not a few patients, and saved many from the more dangerous procedure of hysterectomy. In the development of these minor means, not only, but in the cultivation and improvement of the major surgical technique the writer has devoted a greater portion of his professional time for the last ten years. The object of these lectures is to place in permanent shape the outcome of this decade of work and to place in the hands of his friends and students a mirror, as it appears to him, of the present status of the treatment of fibroids of the uterus.
