Operative Midwifery
نویسنده
چکیده
The five years which have elapsed since the publication of the last edition of this book have seen a steady progress in the movement which has been converting midwifery from a branch of medicine into an art requiring a thorough and practical knowledge of surgery. The book faithfully represents up-to-date practice in this respect, the author's advice being always based on sound surgical principles. The addition of his latest results in the treatment of contracted pelvis, Cesarean section, pubiotomy, and other operative procedures adds considerably to the value of the book. The author is more and more convinced of the greater safety for both mother and child of spontaneous delivery in cases of contracted pelvis of the lesser degrees; he is opposed to ''high forceps " operations in this condition, and the list of contra-indications to the use of forceps which he gives will be found a safe guide. Vaginal Cesarean section is carefully described and the author approves the operation on general surgical principles, but restricts its applicability to a few well-defined groups of cases, where speedy delivery in the middle period of pregnancy is essential.
