How is Cesarean delivery done?

Medical Evaluation:
  • A thorough assessment of the mother's health, including medical history and any existing conditions.
Discussion:
  • Consultation with the obstetrician regarding the reasons for the C-section, potential risks, and benefits.
Anesthesia:
  • The type of anesthesia (epidural, spinal block, or general anesthesia) will be discussed and determined.
Fasting:
  • Patients are typically advised to fast for a certain period before the surgery, especially if general anesthesia is used.
Hospital Admission:
  • Admission to the hospital is required, and preoperative protocols will be followed, including IV line placement.

  • Preparation in the Operating Room: The mother is positioned on the operating table, and monitors are attached to track vital signs.
  • Anesthesia Administration: The selected anesthesia is administered.
  • Incision: A horizontal incision (Pfannenstiel incision) is typically made just above the pubic hairline, although a vertical incision may be used in certain situations.
  • Delivery: The uterus is opened, and the baby is delivered gently, followed by the delivery of the placenta.
  • Closure: The uterus and abdominal layers are stitched back together in layers, and the incision is cleaned and dressed.

  • Infection: Risk of infection at the incision site or in the uterus.
  • Blood Loss: Greater blood loss compared to vaginal delivery.
  • Reactions to Anesthesia: Possible adverse reactions to anesthesia.
  • Blood Clots: Increased risk of blood clots in the legs or lungs.
  • Future Pregnancies: Higher risk of complications in future pregnancies, such as uterine rupture.

Infrastructure Facilities

  • Recovery Room: Area for post-operative monitoring and recovery.
  • Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU): Available for any newborn needing additional care.
  • Support Services: Access to blood banks, pharmacy, and anesthesiology services.

FAQs

C-sections may be necessary due to complications such as fetal distress, breech presentation, multiple pregnancies, or maternal health issues.

Recovery can take several weeks, with many women staying in the hospital for 2-4 days post-surgery.

Many women can have a vaginal delivery after a previous C-section, but this should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Risks include infection, blood clots, and complications in future pregnancies.

Pain levels vary, but C-section recovery often involves significant discomfort due to surgery, whereas vaginal delivery pain is typically more acute during labor but shorter in duration.

This overview provides a foundational understanding of cesarean delivery, including the procedure, benefits, and considerations for patients. If you have specific questions or need further details on any aspect, feel free to ask!
