Symphysiotomy is a surgical procedure in which the cartilage of the pubic symphysis is divided to widen the pelvis allowing childbirth when there is a mechanical problem (obstructed labour). It is also known as pelviotomy [ 1 ] and synchondrotomy. [ 1 ]
The pubic symphysis is a nonsynovial amphiarthrodial joint. The width of the pubic symphysis at the front is 3–5 mm greater than its width at the back. This joint is connected by fibrocartilage and may contain a fluid-filled cavity; the center is avascular, possibly due to the nature of the compressive forces passing through this joint, which may lead to harmful vascular disease.

Merrick helped put together a memorial display to former residents who didn’t make it. One man’s face sticks out among the R.I.P. photos and newspaper obituaries. In his photo, taken at the facility, he is beaming. He is holding up a Grateful Life certificate, his “Life on Life’s Terms Award.”
