Willetta-Ivanov-Gauss Method

The Willett-Ivanov-Gauss method (WIG) is a method of labor management that was developed in 1911 by John Willett, Alexander Ivanov and Carl Gauss. This method allows you to avoid many complications that may occur during childbirth, such as bleeding, uterine rupture and others.

The Willetta-Ivanov-Gauss method includes several stages. First, the woman must be prepared for childbirth, that is, she needs to have a cesarean section or other surgical intervention, if necessary. The woman should then lie on her back, with her legs bent at the knees and her hips level with her shoulders. This position helps reduce the risk of bleeding and other complications.

Next, the woman should begin to breathe deeply and slowly to reduce stress levels and improve blood circulation. She also needs to relax and not tense up to avoid pain and discomfort during childbirth.

The next stage is the use of special tools that help control the birth process and reduce the risk of complications. For example, special forceps and hooks that allow you to control the process of childbirth and avoid uterine rupture.

Finally, after giving birth, a woman should remain in a lying position for some time to allow her uterus to contract and repair itself after childbirth. The woman may also be given pain medication to reduce pain and discomfort.

In general, the Willetta-Ivanova-Gauss method is an effective way of managing childbirth, which helps to avoid many complications and reduce the risk of death of the mother and child. However, before using this method, you should consult your doctor to make sure that it is suitable for a particular woman.

At the end of the 19th century, doctors were faced with the problem of birth trauma, when, after a complicated birth, women in labor continued to have pathologies in the pelvic area. Scientists began to look for ways to solve this problem. In 1891, the famous Russian surgeon Alexander Alexandrov Ivanov proposed using the “Obstetric Ostrum” model he created to protect the bladder from injury. It was based on the principle of peristalsis of the muscle rings of the organ, which led to strong compression over the pubic symphysis and reduced the traumatic nature of the birth process. Despite the fact that Ivan proclaimed the discovery of his rings innovative, they found universal use in female surgery. The obstetric necklace is still considered the most reliable method of protecting the pelvic organs during childbirth.

In subsequent years, Russian gynecologists began to perform operations to remove and create a wide obstruction in the pelvic cavity (welding of the posterior vaginal vault). For the same purpose, they also began to use Vilma plates with a special form of fasteners-clamps-simulators in place of rings or
