With the patient in the knee-chest position, the author opens the posterior fornix for the correction of hypelanteflexion or the anterior fornix for the correction elf retroversion. A sufficiently large wedge of myometrium is excised at the most acute portion and the edges brought together with catgut, bringing the uterus into its proper position. The operation is done under local anesthesia and the patient nay be ambulatory. Accidental incisions into the cervical canal give the author no alarm and cause no trouble. Hegar dilators may be used later with impunity. So stat,istics are given but the author recommends the procedure for correction of sterilit,y and severe dysmenorrhea. R. J. \%‘ICIHS~VA?~
