If the fetus is in a left transverse position, is a transverse or vertical incision used during a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I am currently 36 weeks pregnant and had a thorough check-up. The fetus is in a left transverse position. The doctor said the chances of a natural birth are low and that a cesarean section might be necessary.

Doctor's answer:

The direction of the incision in a cesarean section is not related to other factors; all cesarean sections are performed with a horizontal incision. Regardless of the situation, a cesarean section involves a horizontal incision in the lower abdomen. Patients face the difficulties of cesarean sections, and we should actively implement careful examinations and treatments, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the cesarean section does not heal properly, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan. In daily life, it is important to maintain a reasonable diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and engage in regular exercise to boost immunity.
