Ayers has produced 8 symphysaetomies in the last 2 years, 7 of them with beneficial and 1 with lethal outcomes. According to his observations, the symphysisotomy gives a mortality rate of 1% for mothers and twice as high for children; therefore, he prefers premature delivery to pregnancy and favours a choice between that operation and another one for the pregnant woman's relatives.
