Excerpt from Clinical Report on Cases of Lacerated Cervix, and Ovariotomy, From Private PracticeFrom observations of over twenty-five years I have learned that lacerations of the cervix uteri occur much more frequently and extensively on the right side than on the left, but that when both sides are lacerated the left is usually torn more than the right. The most natural question is, Why should this laceration occur so much more frequently and extensively on the right than on the left side and to this question I can give no other answer than that, in many cases at least, the laceration is due to bad and meddlesome midwifery. I do not mean that the obstetrician should never inter fere with the progress of a labor when by such inter ference he may render the necessary assistance that is all-important to the successful termination of a labor that is already unduly protracted, nor do I mean that the accoucheur should be blamed if in rendering such necessary assistance he consciously or unconsciously lacerates either the cervix or the perinaeum. A lacera tion in some cases is probably inevitable, and the fault is no more with the physician than with nature. But there are certain ways of conducting a labor that must be censured by every conscientious practitioner, and it is to these gross mismanagements that I apply the term bad and meddlesome midwifery.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
