Common Surgeries and Procedures in Obstetrics

Cesarean Section (C-Section): This surgery is performed when a vaginal birth is not possible or safe for the mother or baby. The procedure involves making an incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus to deliver the baby.

Episiotomy: Sometimes necessary during childbirth to enlarge the vaginal opening to prevent uncontrolled tearing as the baby is born. This procedure is becoming less common as more natural tearing tends to heal better.

Dilation and Curettage (D&C): This minor surgery involves dilating the cervix and scraping the uterine lining. It is used after miscarriages to remove tissue, or to treat certain uterine conditions.

Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery: In cases where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, surgery may be required to remove the abnormal pregnancy.

Cervical Cerclage: This is a procedure used to treat cervical incompetence by closing the cervix with stitches during pregnancy to help prevent premature birth.
