Caesarean section techniques are evolving to improve maternal safety and reduce costs. Key practices like modified Cohen

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Maternal Health

Background:

  • Caesarean section is a common obstetric procedure, raising concerns about maternal safety and cost.
  • Optimizing surgical techniques aims to reduce operating time, blood loss, infection, and expenses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and highlight best practices in caesarean section surgical techniques.
  • To inform trainers and trainees on essential surgical skills and safety precautions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing studies and established surgical practices for caesarean sections.
  • Consideration of evidence from randomized controlled trials, including the CAESAR trial.

Main Results:

  • Modified Cohen's incision is recommended for skin and abdominal entry.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Lower segment transverse uterine incision remains the preferred method for uterine entry.
  • Single-layer uterine closure, controlled cord traction, and omitting peritoneal layer closure are discussed.
  • Subcutaneous layer obliteration may reduce wound disruption; prophylactic antibiotics are crucial.

    • Conclusions:

    • Standardizing surgical techniques can enhance caesarean section safety and efficiency.
    • Further research is needed on patient positioning, uterine exteriorization, and tocolytic agents.
