Wolff Operation

The Wolff operation is a surgical procedure developed by German anatomist and surgeon Joseph Wolff in the 19th century. The operation was named after him and was used to treat various diseases such as ovarian cysts, uterine tumors and other gynecological diseases.

The operation is based on the removal of an ovarian cyst or uterine tumor through an incision in the abdominal cavity. After removing the tumor, the surgeon closes the incision using special sutures.

The Wolff operation is one of the most common operations in gynecology, and is still used in medical practice. However, with the development of new treatment methods such as laparoscopic surgery, this operation has become less popular.

Although the Wolff procedure is no longer used as often as it once was, it remains an important treatment for gynecological conditions and continues to be used in some cases.
