The anesthesiologist perford an epidural combined anesthesia on the patient, and the patient was considered to be in a state of awareness. The ECG monitor beside the operating table displayed the patient’s heart rate and respiration, among other things. The condition of the fetus, especially the fetal heart rate, needed to be personally verified again by the Chief Surgeon before the surgery.
The fetal heart rate had dropped a bit, but fortunately, the young physician and dical student quickly convinced the family to allow more preparation ti for the surgery, avoiding a hurried attempt to rescue the fetus.
"Do we need to contact neonatal care?" the operating room nurse routinely asked the doctor.
If the fetus’s condition was not good before the surgery, it was necessary to call a neonatologist to stand by. As soon as the obstetrician delivered the baby, the neonatologist must imdiately start resuscitation.
"Not for now," Director Yoo assessed.
Subsequently, like other surgical procedures, the assistant proceeded with disinfecting and draping the surgical area.
Director Yoo, dressed in surgical attire, stood beside the operating table, with Doctor Peng, serving as First Assistant, standing opposite him. Doctor Zheng was outside the operating room accompanying the patient’s family. Two students who had just started internships in the obstetrics departnt were fortunate enough to witness the procedure closely and learn. It’s important to note that newcors usually adapt to new clinical environnts before being allowed by teachers to enter the operating room.
"Since both of you are ready in surgical attire, one of you take the retractor," Director Yoo said, scanning the two interns quickly and assigning Student Geng, "You’re male, stronger, you take it."
The instrunt nurse handed the large S-shaped retractor into Student Geng’s hands.
Xie Wanying stood opposite to Student Geng, thinking it was a good chance to observe the abilities of another classmate from her group.
Director Yoo confird the surgical incision site once more. Before making the incision, he used a small pair of forceps to pinch the patient’s skin to check for any sensation. The lack of sensation proved the anesthesia was effective, allowing the incision to proceed. anwhile, Director Yoo casually asked the nas of the two students to address them correctly during the operation, saying, "Tell your nas."
The male student answered first. Erging from his usual silent state, Student Geng replied in a gentle and polite voice, "Geng Yongzhe."
"And you?" Director Yoo asked Student Xie standing beside him.
"Xie Wanying."
"Xie Wanying?" Director Yoo squinted as if recalling sothing, gazing at Student Xie’s eyes.
The forceps confird the anesthesia was adequate.
The nurse handed over the scalpel, and Director Yoo accepted it, making a careful incision. He chose a transverse incision. Cesarean Section incisions can be transverse or vertical.
A transverse incision is less conspicuous, and considering female patients’ aesthetics, doctors often take the transverse approach as Director Yoo did today. Additionally, many won patients are aware of the aesthetic superiority of transverse incisions beforehand. If given a vertical incision, hearing remarks from other mothers after the surgery often leads them to question the doctor why not make a transverse incision instead. To avoid such issues, doctors tend to choose the transverse incision whenever possible. Vertical incisions are indeed more unsightly, as the scar is prominently located in the middle of the abdon, exposed to outsiders, sothing beauty-conscious won detest.
In fact, Cesarean Sections initially used the vertical incision. The vertical cut offers doctors a broader surgical view compared to the transverse, facilitating operations, and reducing surgical ti accordingly. Thus, in cases requiring ergency fetal delivery or when the mother presents other gynecological diseases needing simultaneous surgical exploration, doctors inevitably opt for the vertical incision without hesitance.
