Is it better to have a cesarean section horizontally or vertically?

Patient's question:

Almost at the due date, the baby's position is not right, the amniotic fluid is low, the doctor recommended caesarean section, is it better to have a transverse or vertical caesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

Arriving at the due date, multiple careful examinations of the uterus through ultrasound confirmed that the baby's position was not good, and the amniotic fluid was low. Therefore, it is recommended to have a cesarean section as soon as possible. Low amniotic fluid poses the only and greatest harm to the baby, which is the risk of the baby choking. If choking occurs, the baby may face the risk of cerebral palsy again. This is a hazard that needs to be aware of. Generally, a horizontal incision is more aesthetically pleasing.
In addition to active treatment, cesarean section patients need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to supplement their nutritional needs. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
