There are also two kinds of caesarean section incisions, one is horizontal incision and the other is vertical incision. In the past, when the medical level was not so high, it was usually a vertical incision. Now the medical level is advancing by leaps and bounds, and the transverse incision seems to be more in line with the requirements of pregnant women.
Of course! It doesn't mean that mother should cut horizontally or vertically, which depends on the actual situation. In some special emergency situations, when the pregnancy needs to be terminated quickly, vertical incision will be chosen, because caesarean section with vertical incision is faster and simpler, but now caesarean section generally adopts horizontal incision.
Advantages of transverse incision 1. The transverse incision does not affect mom's love for beauty.
The position of the transverse incision is relatively low. 3-4 cm above the pubic bone, if Ma Bao needs to wear some necessary pants and skirts, or some navel dresses, it doesn't matter at all, because there is no wound at all.
2. More conducive to wound healing.
The transverse incision is cut along the texture of the skin, which is actually more beneficial when the wound recovers, and the wound will recover faster.
The pain is not so strong.
Because the position of the transverse incision is relatively low, the parturient is not so easy to pull when moving, the tension of the transverse incision is also relatively small, and the pain is relatively less.
4. You can use beauty line.
The wound tension of caesarean section is small. If the maternal constitution allows, you can use the beauty line. If the beauty thread is used, there is no need to remove the thread after delivery, which also eliminates a big worry for the mother.
Disadvantages of transverse incision The position of transverse incision is relatively low, and the field of vision after opening is not very good, so it is not easy to observe the situation in abdominal cavity, which increases the difficulty of operation. The wound of transverse incision is very similar to the wound of uterus, and the direction is the same, so it is more likely to lead to pelvic adhesion. Transverse incision is not the most suitable incision for anatomical angle, so for human body, this kind of incision will be more harmful, easy to damage the superficial veins and nerves under the abdominal wall, and the amount of bleeding will be more. For the second caesarean section, the wound needs to be bigger, the damage is bigger, and the amount of bleeding will be more.
The advantage of vertical incision is 1. Less damage and less bleeding.
The vertical incision is more in line with the anatomical principle, and the incision has little damage to the body and avoids the blood vessels of the body. Compared with horizontal incision, vertical incision has better visual field, clearer visual field, more convenient operation and shorter time.
2. Conducive to the second operation.
Vertical incision is less harmful to the body and more conducive to the second operation. In the second operation, the incision can start from the original incision.
3. The probability of pelvic adhesion is very low.
Because the wound direction of abdomen and uterus is different, the probability of pelvic adhesion is relatively low for women with vertical incision.
Disadvantages of straight cut 1. The straight incision wound is in the abdomen, and the navel is a little lower. Some clothes that will show the navel position can no longer be worn, otherwise it will greatly affect the appearance, and others will feel uncomfortable even if they don't say it.
2. The skin texture of straight incision is not conducive to wound recovery, and wound recovery needs more time.
3. The wound tension of the straight incision is relatively large, and the pain is more obvious, and the parturient is more likely to feel the pain.
4. Because the tension of the straight incision is relatively large, the American thread cannot be used. Generally, ordinary silk thread is needed. I need to go to the hospital to have my stitches removed about a week after delivery. For some mothers who are afraid of pain, this is another level.
However, as ordinary people, we don't need to know much about this. After all, it was decided by the doctor during the operation, and the doctor also decided according to the situation at that time.
Besides, if it is not a very urgent operation now, it is usually a transverse incision, and there is nothing to choose.
