Cesarean birth:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The most common type of cesarean birth is the lower segment cesarean, in which a transverse incision across the lower abdomen opens the visceral peritoneum over the uterus. The lower anterior uterine wall is then incised (transversely or longitudinally) behind the bladder.
The classic cesarean — in which a longitudinal incision is made into the body of the uterus, extending into the fundus and opening the top of the uterus — is rarely performed because it exaggerates the risk of infection and of uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies. Cesarean hysterectomy removes the entire uterus and is reserved for such cases as malignant tumors, severe infection, and placenta accreta.
Patients may have general or regional anesthetic for surgery, depending on the extent of maternal or fetal distress. Possible maternal complications of cesarean delivery include respiratory tract infection, wound dehiscence, thromboembolism, paralytic ileus, hemorrhage, and genitourinary tract infection.
