Heinsius Operation

Heinsius operation is a surgical procedure proposed by the German gynecologist Karl Heinsius in 1878.

This operation is used for prolapse of the uterus and vagina. It involves removing excess vaginal mucosa and fixing the uterus to the uterosacral ligaments. Gainsius has developed special clamps that allow the uterus to be securely secured without damaging the tissue.

The Heinsius operation was revolutionary for its time because it made it possible to effectively treat pelvic organ prolapse without removing them. It has been widely used in gynecology for decades and is still used today, although in a modified form. Heinsius made a great contribution to the development of surgical methods for treating gynecological diseases.

Gainesian surgery is an intervention into the bladder in order to achieve its emptying up to the cervix. Previously, this name was more widespread than the current medical name. Although for this operation the definition of “operation” is not entirely correct, since it is not accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the skin and peritoneum.

The Gainesian method includes some changes in the bladder - its abduction and reduction in size. Mo
