What is the process of a cesarean section surgery?

Patient's question:

Who among the experienced ones can give me a detailed introduction to the cesarean section surgery process? I am in Tianjin City.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, spinal anesthesia (the pregnant woman is awake, without pain below the chest); the uterus is incised, the amniotic fluid is drained, and the infant is removed; the fluid in the infant's mouth and nose is cleared; the umbilical cord is clamped and cut; the infant is handed over to a pediatrician or nurse for care to ensure smooth breathing; at this time, the mother is awake and can see her infant and hear its cry. Cesarean section has become quite common (accounting for 20% of all deliveries in the United States), due to advancements in diagnostic methods that allow doctors to accurately determine whether their patients can safely deliver vaginally. Some obstetricians believe that cesarean section is the safest delivery method for certain cases (such as breech presentation, a history of previous cesarean births in the mother, or elderly mothers).
