Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pediatrics, 1903, Vol. 25 Every physician who has had any amount of experience does realize the serious results of a lacerated perineum; he also is aware of the fact that the great percentage of these cases have their origin in a posterior delivery. If you con sider this assertion too broad, I will put it in another way. A large percentage of perineal lacerations can be prevented if precautions, knowledge, and care of existing conditions are strictly observed. Consequently I take the liberty to reassert that a large percentage of perineal lacerations find their true and unavoidable cause following posterior positions. I hope you will not think my preface one of a long-drawn out character; I believe it to be the most important, if not the most interesting, part of my paper. The students who gradu ate from our colleges to-day should be taught, second to normal conditions, how to diagnose and how to conduct posterior positions to a safe delivery to both mother and child. I assure you the old adage An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure - is applicable in these cases, for I must strongly impress in this case it is most all in prevention and but little in cure, as it is impossible to expect anything but a laceration of the second or third degree under the care of the most skillful accoucheur unless there should exist a favorable disproportion between fetal cranium and pelvis of the mother.
