[Current aspects of symphysiotomy. Apropos of 1 case and review of the literature].
Symphysiotomy is regularly performed in developing countries where cesarean section can be a source of significant short-term and long-term morbidity. However, this method can be useful in some rare occasions and should be taught in our countries, at least theoretically. Such a case is presented with a review describing the present surgical technique, its indications and limits with special reference to its possible complications.
