What is a LSCS delivery?

A lower (uterine) segment Caesarean section (LSCS) is the most commonly used type of Caesarean section. Most commonly to deliver the baby a transverse incision is made in the lower uterine segment above the attachment of the urinary bladder to the uterus.

How many types of LSCS are there?

There are two types of caesarean section, which differ according to the direction of the incision on the abdomen. These are the classical cut and the bikini cut.

What are the steps of LSCS?

Joel-Cohen Method

• Joel-Cohen skin incision.
• Blunt dissection of the subcutaneous layer.
• Blunt extension of the fascial opening.
• Blunt entry into the peritoneum.
• Sharp superficial then blunt entry into the uterus.
• Spontaneous removal of the placenta.
• Single-layer interrupted closure of the uterus.
• Non-closure of the peritoneum.

What are the indication of Lscs?

A cesarean delivery is performed for maternal indications, fetal indications, or both. The leading indications for cesarean delivery are previous cesarean delivery, breech presentation, dystocia, and fetal distress. These indications are responsible for 85% of all cesarean deliveries.

What is the reason of Lscs?

Stalled labor is one of the most common reasons for a C-section. Stalled labor might occur if your cervix isn’t opening enough despite strong contractions over several hours. Your baby is in distress. If your health care provider is concerned about changes in your baby’s heartbeat, a C-section might be the best option.

Which injection is used for C-section?

epidural: a common anesthesia for both vaginal and cesarean deliveries, which is injected into your lower back outside the sac of the spinal cord.

How many layers are there in C-section?

Yes. The seven layers are the skin, fat, rectus sheath (medical term for the coating outside the abs), the rectus (abs, which are split along the grain somewhat more than cut), the parietal peritoneum (first layer surrounding the organs), the loose peritoneum and then the uterus, which is a very thick muscular layer.

What are the complications of Lscs?

Risks to you include:

• Infection. After a C-section, you might be at risk of developing an infection of the lining of the uterus (endometritis).
• Postpartum hemorrhage.
• Reactions to anesthesia.
• Blood clots.
• Wound infection.
• Surgical injury.
• Increased risks during future pregnancies.

Is Lscs a major surgery?

Most cesarean births result in healthy babies and mothers. But c-section is major surgery and carries risks. Healing also takes longer than with vaginal birth. Most healthy pregnant women with no risk factors for problems during labor or delivery have their babies vaginally.

Is Lscs safe?

C-sections today are, in general, safe for both mother and baby. However, there are risks with any kind of surgery. Potential C-section risks include: increased bleeding (that could, though rarely, require a blood transfusion)

How many times Lscs can be done?

There’s usually no limit to the number of caesarean sections that you can have. But the more caesareans you have, the longer each operation will take, and the higher your risk of complications becomes. If you’ve had a caesarean in the past, it’s still possible to give birth to your baby vaginally.
