Obstetrical surgery
Obstetrical surgery refers to surgical procedures performed during pregnancy, childbirth, or immediately after delivery. This type of surgery addresses complications such as placenta previa, where the placenta covers the cervix, or issues like ectopic pregnancies, where the fetus develops outside the uterus. It can also include cesarean sections (C-sections) for safe delivery when vaginal birth isn't possible. Obstetrical surgeries aim to ensure the health and safety of both the mother and the baby, addressing any medical risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth.

Obstetrical surgery refers to surgical procedures related to pregnancy and childbirth. This can include cesarean sections (C-sections), where a baby is delivered through an incision in the mother's abdomen, as well as surgeries to address complications during pregnancy, such as ectopic pregnancies or placenta previa. These surgical interventions ensure the safety and well-being of both the mother and baby when natural delivery poses risks. Obstetrical surgery is performed by specialized doctors known as obstetricians, who are trained to handle both routine and complex situations during pregnancy and childbirth.
