Publisher's Synopsis

Symphysiotomy and pubiotomy carry more risk than Caesarean section. Ireland was the only country in the Western world to practice these 18th century operations in the mid to late 20th century. This text examines the exhumation of these covert operations and reveals the circumstances under which the operations were carried out.
