Cesarean Delivery [StatPearls]
by
Cesarean delivery is a surgical procedure that involves delivering a baby through an abdominal incision (laparotomy) and a uterine incision (hysterotomy). The surgery is typically performed when vaginal birth poses a greater risk to the mother or baby, such as when complications arise during labor in an otherwise planned vaginal delivery or when a condition prevents a vaginal delivery (such as obstruction). Cesarean delivery is considered the most common and safe surgical procedure in the United States. This procedure is often performed for indications such as labor dystocia, fetal distress, abnormal fetal positioning, placental complications, or a history of prior cesarean delivery. However, as a major surgery, cesarean delivery carries risks, including infection, bleeding, and longer recovery times compared to vaginal births. Despite these potential risks, cesarean delivery remains a life-saving intervention in certain medical situations. Decisions made during cesarean delivery can have lasting effects on women and their families.

Epidural Anesthesia [StatPearls]
by
Epidural anesthesia is a method of neuraxial pain control in which anesthetic medications are injected into the epidural space to block sensory and motor spinal nerve roots in the thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, and lower extremity areas.
