Caesarean Section Abdominal

Cesarean section abdominal (s. c. abdominalis; synonym c. c. abdominal-wall) - surgical delivery by dissecting the anterior abdominal wall and uterus.

Indications for abdominal caesarean section:

  1. Narrow pelvis. Discrepancy between the size of the fetal pelvis and the size of the fetal head.
  2. Pathological presentation and insertion of the fetus (transverse, oblique position of the fetus).
  3. Placenta previa.
  4. Acute and chronic fetal hypoxia.
  5. Multiple pregnancy.
  6. Scar on the uterus after previous operations.
  7. Extragenital diseases in the mother that threaten the life of the mother and fetus.
  8. Serious condition of the mother or fetus during childbirth.

An abdominal caesarean section is performed under general anesthesia. An incision in the skin and muscles of the anterior abdominal wall is made transversely in its lower section. The abdominal cavity is opened, the uterus is dissected in the lower uterine segment transversely or by reduction. The fetus with amniotic fluid and the placenta are removed. After the umbilical cord is clamped, the baby is transferred to a neonatologist. The uterus is sutured tightly with a double-row suture. The abdominal cavity and skin are closed.

Thus, an abdominal caesarean section is a planned or emergency operation to remove the fetus through an incision in the anterior abdominal wall and uterus in the presence of obstetric or extragenital indications for delivery.



An abdominal caesarean section (CAS) is a surgical operation in which the fetus is removed from the uterine cavity through an incision in the abdominal wall. This is one of the types of cesarean section, which is performed for certain indications, such as malpresentation of the fetus, multiple pregnancies, fetal malformations, etc.

Caesarean section is one of the most common operations in obstetric practice. It is carried out to save the life of the mother and child, as well as to facilitate childbirth and reduce the risk of complications.

CSA is performed under general anesthesia and requires highly qualified and experienced surgeons. Before the operation begins, the doctor examines the patient, assesses her condition and determines the indications for surgery.

During the operation, the surgeon makes an incision in the abdominal wall and then removes the fetus and placenta. After this, he closes the incision and places stitches on the abdominal wall.

After the operation, the patient is in the intensive care unit, where she is treated and her condition is monitored. Depending on the condition of the patient and her baby, the doctor may recommend another type of cesarean section or vaginal delivery.
