Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Several cesarean delivery methods aim to improve patient experience, including skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and bonding.
  • Maternal-assisted cesarean (MAC) offers greater patient involvement for those delivering via cesarean.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a case of maternal-assisted cesarean (MAC) in a patient with a history of prior cesarean deliveries.
  • To highlight the potential for patient-centered approaches in cesarean deliveries.

Main Methods:

  • A modified cesarean procedure was performed in a 31-year-old female at 39 weeks gestational age.
  • Multidisciplinary planning and simulation were utilized to ensure surgical safety during maternal participation.
  • The sterile drapes were lowered after fetal head and shoulder delivery, allowing the mother to assist in doğum.

Main Results:

  • The maternal-assisted cesarean was successfully performed, enabling active maternal participation.
  • Both mother and newborn remained stable throughout the procedure and postoperatively.
  • The case demonstrates the feasibility of MAC in a patient with a history of multiple cesareans.

Conclusions:

  • Maternal-assisted cesarean is an emerging patient-centered option that allows active maternal involvement during delivery.
  • This technique maintains surgical safety while potentially increasing patient satisfaction.
  • Further research is required to evaluate the risks and benefits of MAC before widespread adoption.
