sanskrit

There is nothing more difficult than the surgical extraction of a fetus in abnormal presentation. Here, the procedure is performed by touch, within the vagina, spleen, intestines, and uterus. The fetus should be removed using techniques such as pulling, pushing, repositioning, cutting, and dividing, all with one hand, without causing harm to the fetus or the mother. Therefore, after consulting the chief and taking utmost care, one should proceed with the intervention.
