[Transverse laparotomy by supre-pubic detachment of the recti muscles in gynecologic surgery. Apropos of 266 cases].

The authors have studied 266 case histories where supra-pubic detachment of rectus muscles was used according to Cherny's method. This allowed aseptic gynaecological surgery to be carried out in all its forms by a true transverse incision. The advantages are great : it is aesthetic and the incision can be enlarged if necessary indefinitely. This means that surgery can be carried out easily and explains the great rarity of intra-abdominal complications. On the other hand two relatively rare complications do occur with this incision : peritoneal haematomata and lateral herniations. Details have been given of the methods necessary to avoid these complications.
