Fetotomy

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Fetotomy is a surgical procedure that is used to remove a dead or nonviable fetus from the uterus of a pregnant animal. This procedure is typically performed when the fetus is too large to be delivered naturally, or when the mother is unable to deliver the fetus due to health problems. The procedure involves making an incision in the uterus and removing the fetus.
