Some women may want to have a vaginal delivery when giving birth, but due to limitations in conditions, they can only choose to have a caesarean section to give birth to their baby. However, cesarean section also has both horizontal and vertical incisions. Is horizontal or vertical incision better for women during childbirth?
When a woman gives birth to a baby, whether to choose a transverse or vertical cesarean section depends on her physical condition. If the situation of a pregnant woman giving birth to a baby is urgent, then using a vertical incision method will be more convenient and faster, and the surgery time will also be shorter. If the pregnant woman is overweight and the abdominal wall is relatively posterior, it is better to use a transverse cutting method, which can help the wound heal faster after surgery.
There is a visual difference between the incision methods of transverse and vertical cesarean section. The vertical incision method will leave a larger longitudinal incision, and if a woman has a scar constitution, it is easy to leave unsightly scars. If transverse section is chosen for cesarean section, the incision method of transverse section is consistent with the texture of human skin. Even if scars are left after delivery, it is easy to cover them with clothes.
Usually, doctors may choose the vertical incision method when performing surgery on pregnant women because this incision method has a shorter surgical time, is relatively easier, and is safer. If it is a vertical incision method, the doctor's field of view will be wider, and the amount of anesthesia received by pregnant women will be less. Only local anesthesia is needed. If it is a transverse section, the field of view will be relatively small, and pregnant women need to receive deeper anesthesia.
