Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This medical text comprehensively examines the Caesarean section and other obstetric procedures that were performed for various reasons. In the early 1800s, the procedure was generally reserved for cases where the mother or child were in mortal danger, and the practice was highly controversial. The author, a prominent obstetrician, presents detailed statistics on the success rates of the Caesarean section, exploring the physiological problems that caused its high mortality rate. He suggests performing the procedure earlier in labor and employing prophylactic measures to improve results. The book also discusses alternative procedures such as the use of forceps and the induction of labor. It reviews common objections to the Caesarean section and provides evidence to counter them, building a case for a more liberal use of the procedure.
