Fr. Neugebauer. Kilka slow about wskrzeszeniu ciecia lonowego czyli symphyseotomio przez szkole poloznicza, Neapolitanska. (Medycyna, 1892, nos. 34-37, 46-53.). A few words about the revival, thanks to the Neapolitan school of midwives, the operation of the symphysisotomy.

The author, based mainly on the report of the Paris Academy of Travel to Italy, specially for the study of the symphysisotomy of Charpentier a ["De la symphiséotomie." Extrait du Bulletin de 1 Académie de Medicine (séances du 15 et 22 Mars 1892, 36 pp.)] Gives a very detailed literary-historical overview of the methods of production, the demonstration, meaning and future of this operation, resurrected thanks to the Napolitan obstetricians, now more and more attention is paid to the medical world. Hippocrates also pointed out that “the pubic bones at the end of pregnancy diverge to the right and left sides” (Hippokrates, Denatura pueri). Riolanus (Manuel anatom., P. 626) and Ambroise Paré (Oeuvres, Livre 24, Chap. 13), as well as Galenus, even mention that in antiquity even young girls were ripped open in order to facilitate childbirth in the future ... The terrible mortality from Caesar's misconceptions from the old days led obstetricians to think about symphysisotomy. According to Krassovsky (Operative obstetrician, 3rd edition 1885, p. 624), he first performed a symphysiotomy on a corpse after the death of a woman in labor, Dr. Jean Claude de la Couvre in Warsaw in 1585. Winckel, however, points to 1654, and Charpentier to 1655.
