Excerpt from Lawson Tait's Perineal Operations: And an Essay on Curettage of the Uterus Lawson tait's operations for restoring the ruptured perineum have become well and favourably known in many lands. The details have been set forth by Tait, Barnes, and others in elaborate communications, yet no diagrams have been published which clearly show the successive steps of the operations.
