Patent ID: 8556913

Claim:
A method for dislodging the fetal head wedged deeply in a female pelvic cavity for assisting in delivery of a fetus through abdominal incision, wherein said method comprises: a) inserting a surgical device into a female vagina below the fetal head wherein said device comprises: an inflatable portion acting as a hydraulic jack to lift the fetal head; a foldable base plate having an aperture at the center region wherein said base plate is attached to said inflatable portion forming a leak proof seal therebetween for receiving a fluid therein; the plate being bendable only along at least one thinner area in response to a change in pressure within the device; a tubing section, having two ends, attached to said inflatable portion for injecting fluid into said inflatable portion at one end; and a pressurizing device attached at the other end of the tubing section; b) inflating said inflatable portion by injecting fluid or gas through said tubing section by means of the pressurizing device, and fixing said base plate along the pelvic floor to prevent the base plate from moving in a downward direction toward the vaginal opening; c) pushing the fetal head in an upward direction, away from the vaginal opening, by further inflating said inflatable portion; and d) surgically incising the female abdomen to expose the fetus, and reaching between said inflated inflatable portion and the fetal head to extract the head of the fetus before the body.
