Cesarean delivery "en caul" involves delivering extremely preterm infants with intact amniotic membranes, protecting them from mechanical stress. This technique is effective and easy, minimizing uterine injury during delivery.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Intact amniotic membranes may shield extremely premature infants from mechanical forces during uterine contractions.
  • Cesarean delivery is a common procedure for preterm births, but infants remain vulnerable to trauma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and review the experience with "en caul" cesarean delivery at National Taiwan University Hospital.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of delivering extremely preterm neonates with intact membranes.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study conducted from October 2007 to December 2008.
  • Inclusion criteria: estimated birth weight < 1,500 g or gestational age ≤ 32 weeks.
  • The "en caul" cesarean delivery technique was performed for early preterm labors.

Published on: September 13, 2022

Main Results:

  • Twenty women (including four twin pregnancies) delivered 23 neonates with intact membranes.
  • Indications for preterm labor included severe hypertensive disorders (9 cases).
  • Low mortality rate (4.3%), with 15 babies having Apgar scores > 7 at 5 minutes; favorable arterial pH and hemoglobin levels were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Cesarean delivery "en caul" is an effective and simple technique for extremely preterm fetuses.
  • This method protects neonates from pressure trauma and reduces maternal uterine injury.
