Our presentation of four cases demonstrates the essential features of limb-body wall complex (LBWC), representing a compound anomaly pattern in body-wall defects. The diagnosis of this entity is based on two of the three following characteristics: (1) exencephaly/encephalocele and facial clefts; (2) thoraco- and/or abdominoschisis; and (3) limb defects. A definite association with internal anomalies and severe kyphoscoliosis makes a more distinct concept of the pathogenesis reasonable. Limb-body wall malformations result from a malfunction of the ectodermal placodes involving the early embryonic folding process. The poor prognosis of LBWC calls for early antenatal diagnosis.
The difficult path to the "extended vaginal total extirpation" is connected with the outstanding personality of Friedrich Schauta. Czerny, Schuchardt und Dührssen had prepared it. Amreich, Staude and Stoeckel, Högler, Ingiulla, Navratil, Reiffenstuhl and Platzer, Dargent and Querleu extended the radicality of this cancer operation, advocated and recommended it.
Das Gemälde «Wertheim bei einer gynäkologischen Operation» des bekannten österreichischen Porträtmalers John Quincey Adams wird zu beschreiben versucht. Dem Operateur Ernst Wertheim assistieren sein Privatassistent Theodor Micholitsch als erste Assistenz und Wilhelm Weibel als zweite Assistenz. Der die Narkose machende Arzt und die instrumentierende geistliche Schwester des Ordens der Barmherzigen Schwestern vom hi. Vinzenz von Paul sind namentlich nicht (mehr) bekannt. Das 1907 signierte Bild ist während der Amtsperiode Wertheims als Primararzt des Bettina-Stiftungspavillons im Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Spital in Wien entstanden.
