It so happened in this case that the peritoneum was extremely dilatable, and the uterus, with the child inside, made its way into the peritoneal sac.

In his presence an incision was made and the fetus taken out alive.

Jessop gives an example of extrauterine gestation in a woman of twenty-six, who had previously had normal delivery.

In this case an incision was made and a fetus of about eight months' growth was found lying loose in the abdominal cavity in the midst of the intestines.

Both the mother and child were saved.
