Review Meta Analysis
Symphysiotomy for obstructed labour: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Obstructed labour is a major cause of maternal mortality. Caesarean section can be associated with risks, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where it is not always readily available. Symphysiotomy can be an alternative treatment for obstructed labour and requires fewer resources. However, there is uncertainty about the safety and effectiveness of this procedure. ⋯ Symphysiotomy could be an alternative to caesarean section when resources are limited.
