[Experimental study of uterine hypoplasia. I. Influence of the vascular factor]

The purpose of the experiment was to prove the importance of the vascular factor in uterine hypoplasia. The animal that was chosen was the rat. The method that was used consisted of devascularisation of one of the two uterine cornua. This was done without altering the blood supply to the ovaries when the animals were 7 weeks of age, which is the immediate prepuberty stage. The results that were obtained were significant whether they were looked at macroscopically, microscopically or by weight. In experimental conditons the hypoplasia was obtained solely due to interference with the blood supply which was carried out surgically.
