The cause of scar is also caused by laparotomy, so before laparotomy, we must first understand the method of laparotomy suture, and take targeted care in the nursing process, which can greatly reduce our unnecessary worries and troubles and is conducive to wound healing.

4, the choice of prenatal wound mode

(1) straight type

Surgical method: cut a wound about 15 cm in the middle of navel.

Advantages: if there is an emergency during the operation, it is convenient to expand the wound, the scope of operation is clearer and the time is faster.

Disadvantages: the appearance of the wound is not good. In addition, because scars are pulled under greater pressure, straight wounds are more likely to grow scar tissue or produce abdominal hernia.

(2) Horizontal type

Surgical method: horizontally draw a wound about 10 ~ 15 cm on the upper edge of pubic bone under abdomen, which looks like a smile sign.

Advantages: the wound is more beautiful, and it is less likely to produce abdominal hernia and scar tissue.

Disadvantages: the wound field of vision will be reduced, which is not suitable for other complicated operations or obese patients.

5, matters needing attention after caesarean section

1. Not suitable for supine position: the anesthesia disappears after operation, and the parturient's wound feels pain, while the supine position is the most sensitive to uterine contraction pain, so the lateral position should be adopted, so that the body forms an angle of 20-30 degrees with the bed, and the quilt or blanket is placed behind it to reduce the vibration and pulling pain of the incision during physical activity.

2. It is not advisable to lie still: after the postoperative consciousness is restored, physical activity should be carried out. After 24 hours, you should practice sitting up and getting out of bed slowly, which can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis and exhaust as soon as possible to prevent intestinal adhesion and thrombosis from causing embolism in other parts.

3. Don't eat too much: Eating too much after laparotomy will lead to abdominal distension and increased abdominal pressure, and it is not allowed to recover. Therefore, we should fast within 6 hours after operation, and then gradually increase our food intake.

4. Timely defecation: After caesarean section, due to pain, the abdomen does not dare to exert force, and urine cannot be excreted in time, which is easy to cause urinary retention and constipation. Therefore, postpartum women should urinate in time according to their usual habits.

5. Beware of colds: colds and coughs will affect wound healing, and severe coughing may even cause incision tearing. Pregnant women with colds should take medicine in time.

In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the abdominal incision and female private parts are clean, and do not scratch when itching, and do not scrub with unclean items.
