Answer 1

Cesarean Section?

Answer 2

C-Section or Cesarian section. there are 2 versions of it though. You will see them listed below.

1.Low Transverse C-Section
In a low transverse C-section (LTCS), the doctor cuts through the lower uterine segment of the uterus, which typically doesn't involve the same tissue as a classical C-section. This region of the uterus has less muscular fiber, and is less easy to tear or rupture with future labors.
There are still risks with a LTCS, but they seem to be fewer in nature. The uterine scar will tear less easily, as we already suggested. However, even though many women can deliver subsequent babies vaginally after this procedure, many doctors still advise going the C-section route with subsequent babies, just to be on the safe side.

2.What Is a Classical C-Section?
The classical C-section has been used by physicians as the standard way of performing a C-section, but recently it has been superceded in use by the Low-Transverse uterine incision (see next section).
In a classical C-section, the physician makes an incision or cut in the upper or contractile portion of the uterus. This gives much more access to the baby. It traditionally has been done under emergency circumstances, so many doctors thought this was the quickest and easiest way to deliver the baby. However, as doctors discovered later, this type of incision subjected both the mother and baby to additional risks, as will be discussed later.

While we're on the subject, don't confuse the way your skin is cut and the way your uterus is cut. We're talking about the cutting of the uterus here, not the incision in the skin that you see – confusing, but important differences. Just because a doctor cuts your outer skin up and down or a bikini cut (sideways) doesn't mean that he cuts your uterus that same way. You can't tell from the outer skin incision how your uterus was cut, and it does matter later if you plan on having subsequent births.

The old dictum was once a C-section, always a C-section, which usually applied to the classical Cesarean section and meant that you always had to have C-sections for later deliveries. However, that dictum does not always apply to a low-transverse C-section.

Hope this answers your question, and didnt freak you out to much.

Answer 3

It is called a Cesarean section, commonly called a c-section. It is major abdominal surgery and should only be done in an emergency. It carries several serious risks not only for the current pregnancy, but for all future ones as well. For more info you should check out ICAN (The International Cesarean Awareness Network)

Answer 4

Cesarean Section/C-section

Answer 5

that operation is called caesarian or c-section, is a form of childbirth in which a surgical incision is made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver baby.Caesarean may be planned in advance (elective section) or be performed at short notice, particularly if there are complications or difficulty in labour (emergency section). An elective Caesarean section is performed one to two weeks before the baby's due date. This ensures the baby is mature before delivery.
