OBSTETRIC SURGERY. 949 so that the fetal part can be grasped securely and the living fetus the live child a true conjugate of not less than 8 eeutirueters (3| inches)will be desirable with a fetus of ordinary dimensions. 3. The cervix should be completely dilated, or iu a multipara almost com-pletely dilated, and at the least be freely dilatable and easily passable for thehand without injury ; for if rapid extraction is necessary the cervix mustpermit ready passage of the head, and to secure this it should be large enoughto allow the closed fist to pass. A note must always be made in passing ofthe size and dilatability of the orifice, for there is no more annoying obstruc-tion than to find the after-coming head firmly retained by a powerful india-rubber-like band applied about the neck.* Where the dilation is not completeversion is not forbidden, for we resort to it in cases of placenta praevia in.
