Textbook of Caesarean Section

Edited by Eric Jauniaux and William Grobman

Abstract

Caesarean section has become the most common major operation in the world and, with the increasing number of caesarean sections being performed, there are many serious and long-term healthcare implications for gynaecology, general surgery, neonatology, and epigenetics. Textbook of Caesarean Section is an informative and practical tool for practitioners performing obstetric care in all areas of the world. Accompanied by comprehensive videos illustrating the principal procedures in full, this title demonstrates in clear and expert detail the two alternative procedures for caesarean section and provides informative sections on the history of caesarean section and on standard practices. Written by a distinguished team of expert contributors from Europe and North America, Textbook of Caesarean Section carefully describes best current practice for caesarean section, as well as describing the other important and related issues that surgeons must be aware of, such as anaesthesia, prevention of complications of surgery, reproduction after caesarean section, and perinatal outcomes. Including detailed sections on the anatomy of the pelvis, global perspectives on caesarean section, and evolutionary implications as well as practical details of the procedure, this extensively illustrated text is an informative tool for practitioners at any level. The accompanying online videos have been made to a high standard of clarity by accomplished surgeons specializing in caesarean section and ensure that readers of this book gain an in-depth understanding of the techniques involved.
