Dr. Rushali Jadhav in an exclusive article on C-section complications: HT Healthshots | Exclusive story
Cesarean delivery or C-section is a process of removing a baby from the womb through abdominal and uterine incisions. When normal delivery is not possible or includes numerous problems, a cesarean surgery can be planned well in advance.
Planned cesareans are known as elective cesarean sections. They are usually carried out when the baby is in the breech position (feet first). A surgical procedure that is performed when there is an immediate threat to the life of a fetus and/or woman is known as an emergency cesarean section.
Cesarean section may be classified as a lower-segment transverse cesarean section (a horizontal cut through the abdomen and a horizontal cut through the lower part of the uterus) or classical cesarean section (which refers to a vertical cut on the uterus. The abdominal cut may be vertical or horizontal. This type of incision is usually only used for extreme emergencies or in specific situations, such as if the placenta is lying very low or if the baby is lying sideways.
A C-section might cause heavy bleeding during and after delivery and the hypotension can further cause dizziness and loss of consciousness which is a very dangerous complication.
The risk of accidental nicks to the baby’s skin is present during surgery.
Despite having many complications, a cesarean process can be an effective and quick delivery process if proper attention and care are taken by the doctors.
