Description: Segment 1 The patient's history is given by the intertitles, explaining why the procedure is being performed. Three reasons are given for the pregnancy being terminated in a caesarean-style procedure: 1. the presence of a fibromyoma in the posterior uterine wall, 2. the existence of a small ovarian cyst, 3. to permit the sterilisation of the patient on the advice of the chief physician. The first stage of the operation is shown. The incision is made in the abdomen, the uterus is exposed and incised and the foetus is removed. The fibroid previously mentioned is exposed in the posterior wall of the uterus and removed. The uterus is sutured.

The fallopian tubes are divided, the ends excised, the stumps buried and the right tube is totally removed due to a cyst. Blood clots are removed and adhesions are prevented by injections of flavine and paraffin oil. The peritoneum is closed by catgut suture. The film ends with an intertitle note explaining why this procedure was chosen over a hysterectomy. The intertitles state that the doctors wanted to conserve the patient's ovarian and menstrual functions. Time start: 00:06:21:03 Time end: 00:11:28:04 Length: 00:05:07:01
