How C-Section (Cesarean Section): Procedure, Risks & Recovery

Cesarean delivery, formerly known as a C-section, is a surgical technique to deliver a baby through incisions in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. This method is opted for in Kolkata when the risk of vaginal delivery exists to the mother or the baby.

Procedure

A C-section is provided under anesthesia (spinal or normal). Under sterile cover of the abdomen, the incision is made – horizontally across the lower part of the abdomen. Opening the uterus very carefully will bring out the baby. Now, the placenta comes out, and sutures both incisions are done. It usually takes 45-60 minutes.

Complications Involved

Despite the safety of C-sections, it is considered a major surgery and also comes with its risks including;

Infections: Proper post-operative care minimizes this risk.

Blood loss: Though rare, excessive bleeding may occur.

Surgical complications: Damage to nearby organs or reactions to anesthesia.

Future pregnancy concerns: Repeat C-sections or uterine rupture risks.
