Cesarean Section (C-Section) at MaAx Super Speciality Hospital

What the Treatment Is & Why It’s Done

A Cesarean Section (C-Section) is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. At MaAx Super Speciality Hospital, C-sections are performed when vaginal delivery is unsafe for the mother or baby. Common reasons include prolonged labor, fetal distress, placenta problems, or multiple pregnancies.

How the Treatment Is Performed

The mother is given spinal or epidural anesthesia.
A horizontal incision is made in the lower abdomen.
The uterus is opened, and the baby is delivered.
The placenta is removed, and the incisions are closed.

The procedure usually takes 45–60 minutes. Mothers are monitored closely after surgery, and recovery involves a hospital stay of 2–4 days.
