Caesar section

Schiftmann (Zentr. F. G., 1921, No. 45) divides modern indications for abdominal caesar section into 4 groups: 1) the absolute impossibility of childbirth with a narrow pelvis at C, ѵ. 6 site, and below (in the interests of the mother); 2) in order to exclude the birth act in the interests of the mother and the fetus with a narrow pelvis, with tumors, heart disease, pl. praevia, with interpositio uteri gravidi, varices, with fistulas, saggy stomach, etc.; 3) in order to quickly terminate pregnancy (only in the interests of the mother) with nephritis, eclampsia, premature placental abruption, encephalitis, ileus'e, fever, etc.; 4) to eliminate the alleged danger to the fetus (prophylactic indications).
