Cesarean delivery
The cesarean section will begin with a Pfannenstiel incision above the pubic bone, followed by blunt dissection to separate tissue layers and retracting the rectus muscles for peritoneal cavity access. A transverse or vertical peritoneal incision will expose the uterus, and a transverse incision on the lower uterine segment will be made for delivery. The baby will be delivered, the umbilical cord clamped and cut, and the baby handed to the pediatric team. The placenta will be detached and delivered, and the uterus will be closed with multiple layers of sutures. The abdominal layers will be closed with absorbable Polyglactin (Vicryl) sutures for the rectus sheath and subcutaneous tissue, and non-absorbable Polypropylene sutures for the skin. A sterile dressing will be applied to protect the wound and promote a clean healing environment, ensuring proper surgical technique, tissue handling, and minimizing post-operative complications.
