Types of C-section Incisions

There are 3 types of Cesarean section incisions: Low transverse: This is also called a bikini incision because a low horizontal cut is made across the bikini line. Low vertical: This is similar to the transverse section, but a vertical cut is made across the lower abdomen instead of making a horizontal cut. High vertical: The shape of this incision is similar to a low vertical incision. However, the cut is made high up on the abdomen and across the stomach.

Preparation for Caesarean Delivery

Your doctor can suggest that you undergo certain blood tests before a C-section to monitor your red blood cell count and determine the likelihood of anesthetic issues. Discuss the possibility of a C-section with your doctor long before your due date, even if your doctor has advised a vaginal birth.

Steps Involved in Caesarean Delivery

The c-section procedure involves several key steps: 1. Incision: The mother's abdominal wall and uterus are cut through in a horizontal or vertical fashion. The location of the baby and the need for a C-section are two criteria that affect the choice of incision. 2. Delivery of the Baby: After the uterine incision, the baby is carefully delivered, usually headfirst. The healthcare team ensures the baby's safety and monitors its vital signs. 3. Placenta Extraction: The placenta is then cut loose and taken out of the uterus. 4. Closing the Incisions: Dissolvable sutures are used to close the uterine incision. Sutures or staples are used to seal the abdominal incision depending on the surgeon's inclination. 5. Recovery: Following the surgery, the woman is sent to a recovery area and closely watched for any difficulties.

Recovery Care

Recovery after a c-section is a crucial phase in ensuring the well-being of both the mother and the newborn. The following aspects are essential during the recovery process: 1. Pain Management: Pain medication is administered to manage post-operative pain. This may include oral pain relievers and, in some cases, epidural catheters. 2. Early Mobility: Encouraging the mother to get out of bed and walk as soon as possible helps prevent blood clots and speeds up recovery. 3. Monitoring: Regular monitoring of vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart rate, is essential to detect any complications early. 4. Wound Care: Keeping the incision site clean and dry is crucial to prevent infection. The healthcare team will provide instructions on wound care. 5. Breastfeeding Support: Mothers can start breastfeeding soon after the surgery, and lactation consultants are available to provide guidance. 6. Emotional Support: Postpartum emotional support is vital, and healthcare providers are available to address any concerns or emotional well-being. 7. Duration of Hospital Stay: The length of the hospital stay varies but is typically between 2 to 4 days.

Success Rate of Cesarean Delivery

C-section deliveries are usually successful. Today, every third child born in India is through a C-section delivery.
