Synopsis

This book is a wide-ranging perspective on the field of obstetrical operations. A valuable resource for surgical practitioners, the books highlights medical techniques that treat difficulties that may arise during labor. It offers a comprehensive resource for obstetricians looking to expand their knowledge and improve their care for patients, and includes important developments in forceps design and use, such as an emphasis on moderate pelvic and head curves, and a divergence between fenestrae of 3.5 inches to allow for the elongation of the foetal head during labor. The book further examines methods to reduce the bulk of the foetus when necessary, introduces a number of instruments such as the cephalotribe and craniotomy-forceps, and discusses surgical procedures such as inducing labor, caesarean section, and transfusion.
