Vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) was a common ailment among American women in the 19th century. Prior to that time, no successful surgery had been developed for the cure of this condition until Dr J Marion Sims perfected a successful surgical technique in 1849. Dr Sims used female slaves as research subjects over a four-year period of experimentation (1845-1849). This paper discusses the controversy surrounding his use of powerless women and whether his actions were acceptable during that historical period.
膀胱阴道瘘（VVF）在19世纪的美国女性中是一种常见疾病。在此之前，一直没有成功治愈这种疾病的手术方法，直到J·马里恩·西姆斯医生在1849年完善了一种成功的手术技术。西姆斯医生在四年的实验期（1845年至1849年）内将女性奴隶用作研究对象。本文讨论了围绕他使用无权女性的争议，以及在那个历史时期他的行为是否可接受。
