Cesarean Section and Associated Surgeries: Feasibility and Surgical Outcomes
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.17140/WHOJ-3-118Keywords:
Cesarean section; Associated surgeries; Feasibility; OutcomesAbstract
Cesarean section being the most commonly performed surgery in Egypt, the incidents of cesarean delivery in general hospitals were found to be nearly 50.6%, whereas, in private hospitals
such cases were reported to be much higher. Many disorders, either gynecological or non-gynecological could coexist or precede a cesarean delivery. These disorders need to be managed
surgically; invariably most patients will prefer to undergo a cesarean section with concomitant
surgery for any associated pathology. The feasibility and complications of such dual surgeries
have been addressed in this review article.
