C Section

With extensive surgical experience, Dr. Rashmi Gupta performs caesarean sections with precision and strict adherence to safety standards. A C-section is recommended when normal delivery may pose risks, and Dr. Gupta ensures that the procedure is carried out smoothly, with minimal discomfort and a focus on early recovery for the mother.

What It Is

A caesarean section is a surgical method of childbirth in which the baby is delivered through an incision made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. It may be planned or performed in emergencies based on the mother’s and baby’s condition.

Procedure

The procedure begins with pre-operative assessment, including evaluation of the baby’s position, maternal health, and anaesthesia suitability. After spinal or epidural anaesthesia is administered, a small horizontal incision is made on the lower abdomen to access the uterus. The baby is then safely delivered under sterile conditions, and the uterus and skin are carefully closed with sutures. Once the surgery is completed, mother and baby are monitored closely to ensure stable recovery.

Treatment / Management

Post-operative management includes pain control, gradual mobilisation, and careful monitoring of the incision site to prevent infection. Dr. Gupta provides detailed guidance on wound care, breastfeeding positions suitable after C-section, and nutritional support to aid healing. Regular follow-up visits help assess recovery progress, manage any discomfort, and ensure the mother resumes normal routine safely.
