May describes an ovariotomy performed during pregnancy at Tottenham Hospital.

The woman, aged twenty-two, was pale, diminutive in size, and showed an enormous abdomen, which measured 50 inches in circumference at the umbilicus and 27 inches from the ensiform cartilage to the pubes.

At the operation, 36 pints of brown fluid were drawn off.

Delivery took place twelve hours after the operation, the mother recovering, but the child was lost.

Galabin had a case of ovariotomy performed on a woman in the sixth month of pregnancy without interruption of pregnancy; Potter had a case of double ovariotomy with safe delivery at term; and Storry had a similar case.
