Symphysiotomy
text:
Symphysiotomy is a surgical procedure in which the cartilage of the pubic symphysis is divided to widen the pelvis allowing childbirth when there is a mechanical problem. It is also known as pelviotomy and synchondrotomy. It has largely been supplanted by C-sections, with the exception of certain rare obstetric emergencies or in resource poor settings. It is different than pubiotomy, where the pelvic bone itself is cut in two places, rather than cutting though the symphysis pubis joint.
