Abstract
Eriks Melks (1923–2002) was one of Latvia’s best-known gynaecologists during the latter half of the 20th century. In 1959, Melks began to use vacuum excochleation as a form of abortion. He presented the results of his research in his doctoral dissertation, which he defended in Riga in 1962 (published in Russian in Riga, 1966).
