uterine incision techniques

Uterine incision techniques refer to different ways a doctor makes an opening in the uterus during surgery, such as a cesarean section. The most common approach is a transverse (side-to-side) incision across the lower part of the uterus, which tends to heal well and has fewer complications. Less common are vertical incisions, which run up and down, typically used in emergencies or certain circumstances. The choice of technique depends on factors like the baby's position, the urgency of delivery, and the mother's health. Proper incision technique helps ensure safety for both mother and baby and influences future pregnancies.
