Cervix [noun]

On my urgent representations she allowed me to remove the cervix.

If there be any suspicion in this direction he should remove the cervix.

Should the condition of the cervix be in the least degree suspicious of cancer it must be extirpated.

In another case under my care I performed total hysterectomy for fibroids in ignorance that the patient had cancer of the cervix.

Six years later she came under my observation with a large granulating and bleeding growth on the cervix uteri.

It is necessary to utter a caution in regard to the occurrence of cancer of the cervix after subtotal hysterectomy.

Four years later this patient came under observation with extensive cancer of the cervix.

A posterior speculum is passed and the cervix drawn downwards and slightly forwards with a volsella.

The patient is in the lithotomy position, the speculum is passed and the cervix pulled down by a tenaculum.

The cervix is first dilated up to a suitable degree for the passage of the curette; up to No. 12 Hegar is usually sufficient.
