Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Cervical laceration after normal labour is very common. If it occurs, and haemorrhage is present, immediate suture should be practised: if no haemorrhage, the tear should be sewn in two months, or else a routine examination should be made of all women at the end of their child-bearing period, when all lacerated cervices should be repaired.

  2. 2.

    Post-partum retroversion of the uterus, when not fixed back by inflammation, is caused by the dorsal decubitus. The best treatment, therefore, is postural. Every patient should be examined once a month for at least four months after confinement.

  3. 3.

    When non-union of a stitched perineum occurs, a second perinseorrhaphy should be done immediately in aseptic cases.

  4. 4.

    No definite dictum can be laid down about early rising until some more statistics are published. In normal clean cases postural treatment and gymnastic exercises are advised.
