Max Saenger



Max Saenger (or Sänger) (1853-1903) was a gynecologist in Prague who invented a method of suturing the uterus.

Terms

  • Sänger's suture - the closure of the uterine wound in caesarean section by eight or ten deep silver wire sutures, and the use of twenty or more superficial stitches taken through the peritoneum.
  • Sänger's operation - caesarean section in which the uterus is taken out through a long abdominal cut before the fetus is removed.
