Cesarean Procedure
Cesarean delivery is done by making a cut in the abdomen and the uterus.
There has been a gradual rise in cesarean delivery over the past 30 years.
In November, 2005 the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported cesarean delivery rate at 29.
1% which rose up to 32% in 2012 involving as much as quarter of all delivery done.
This means that one woman in every four women goes for a cesarean delivery.
Cesarean delivery is done when there is an unexpected complication.
Procedure: Cesarean delivery lasts for 45 minutes to an hour.
The baby is delivered within a short span of time i.
e.
it takes only 10-15 minutes and the remaining time is used for stitching the cut made in the abdomen.
Before starting the surgery, doctors provide the women with a drug that causes temporary loss of bodily sensation.
This helps the doctor as the area around the abdomen including abdomen gets benumbed.
The doctor provides the women with a tube called as catheter so that the urine gets collected when the lower body is benumbed.
How it's done? The doctor would make a cut in your abdomen or if an emergency exist than the doctor would cut it vertically from navel to pubic area.
Most often doctors cut it horizontally above the pubic bone.
The muscles in the stomach doesn't get cut but are pulled so the doctor can have access to the uterus.
Some women prefer spinal or epidural anesthesia so that they remain conscious and can see their new born baby immediately as and when the surgery goes on.
There are mainly three types of incision: 1) Classical Incision.
2) Low Vertical Incision.
3) Low Transverse Incision.
Classical Incision: It is also known as High Vertical Incision.
Whenever a surgeon performs classical incision there is a high risk of bleeding and consequent break of uterus.
A surgeon performs classical incision in case if there is an emergency.
Low Vertical Incision: It is same as classical incision.
It is usually done on lower side of the uterus where the intrauterine wall is thinner.
It is done because sometimes the baby goes into awkward position in the womb itself or when it has to be extended to classical incision.
Low Transverse Incision: In Low Transverse Incision the surgeon makes a horizontal cut across the lower portion of uterus as it bleeds less, the wounds heals quickly and there is a less danger of breaking during consequent labors.
What after Surgery? Usually after a cesarean delivery women suffer from pain as the uterus contracts.
You and your baby would be kept in continuous observations till the things get right and there are no possible complications.
