keisrilõigest

Keisrilõigest, often referred to as a cesarean section or C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. It is typically performed when a vaginal delivery is not possible or advisable for the health of the mother or baby. This can be due to various medical reasons, such as the baby being in a breech position (feet or buttocks first), multiple births, labor not progressing, or concerns about the baby's heart rate. Sometimes, a planned C-section is scheduled in advance if there are known complications.

The procedure involves administering anesthesia to the mother, usually an epidural or spinal block, which numbs the lower half of the body. An incision is then made through the abdominal wall, followed by an incision in the uterus. The baby is then carefully removed from the uterus. After the baby is delivered and checked by medical staff, the incisions in the uterus and abdomen are closed with sutures. Recovery time for a C-section is generally longer than for a vaginal birth, and it requires a period of healing and rest. While a C-section is a safe procedure, it is major surgery and carries potential risks, which are discussed with patients before the operation.
