Correct, it's actually very clear in the Mishna the various dinim of the surviving mother and subsequent born infant. Somehow it was forgotten and surviving mother is of no mention in the later Poskim as being performed in their times - according to a big talmid chacham I listened too. Modern Historians posit the first case of surviving mother to be in the 1500's, although they mention the Talmudic indications that it was done in Roman era. In any case this wasn't a continuous procedure throughout history.

The Chazon Ish actually points to many medical complicated procedures which were forgotten over the years, as a sign that later generations were not intrinsically more advanced than earlier generations.

Yet another country hits the brakes on its GAC policies.

There is a lot of discussion about how common these treatments are.

Here is the data on children ages 6-17 from 2017-2021, based on insurance claims -

Genital surgery in children is rare but does happen, with 56 cases over the 5 years they reviewed.
