The rectovaginal septum, the lower portion of the rectum, and the neck of the bladder were obliterated.

The woman survived, although she always experienced great difficulty in urination and in entirely emptying the rectum.

A similar instance is reported in a woman of thirty who was thirty-six hours in labor.

The fundus of the uterus descended into the vagina and the whole uterine apparatus was removed.

The lower part of the rectum depended between the labia; in the presence of the physician the nurse drew this out and it separated at the sphincter ani.
