Abstract:
Because of perforation of the uterus, lesion of the recto-sigmoid and diffuse peritonitis after illegal abortion, hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed; the colonic defect was not closed primarily but walled off from the peritoneal cavity; a transverse colostomy was done for fecal deviation and the true pelvis drained vaginally. After the defect had healed smoothly the colostomy was closed.
