Excerpt from The Obstetrical Journal of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 4: April-December, 1876 Among the most earnest, unwearying, and successful improvers of the operation for vesico-vaginal fistula must be reckoned Bozeman, who published his first paper, containing four cases of cure by means of a newly devised suture, in the year 1856. Upon this followed a longer paper, in the year 1857, communicating improvements in the mode of opera tion, and fifteen successful cases, mostly of a severe kind. In order to bring his mode of operation to perfection, he did not shrink from a journey across the ocean, after which, in a paper dated 1860, he reported a series of successful operations performed in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Paris, in the presence of the most distinguished specialists of those cities. On his journey he visited Heidelberg, and performed several operations in the wards of Prof. Simon. In which he won the applause of the German professor.
