Emergency Obstetric Surgeries

Emergency Obstetric Surgeries

Emergency Obstetric Surgeries are critical interventions performed to address life-threatening complications during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. These surgeries are essential to safeguard both the mother and baby when natural labor or standard medical interventions cannot ensure their well-being. Dr. S. Vidhyullatha, an expert in obstetrics, provides highly specialized care in handling such emergencies with precision and urgency.

Common Emergency Obstetric Surgeries:

  • Emergency Cesarean Section (C-Section): Performed when the mother or baby is in distress and immediate delivery is necessary. Reasons may include fetal distress, abnormal fetal positioning, placental issues, or stalled labor.

  • Placental Abruption Surgery: In cases of abruptio placenta, where the placenta detaches from the uterus prematurely, surgery is required to deliver the baby quickly and prevent hemorrhage in the mother.

  • Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery: An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube. Emergency surgery is often necessary to remove the ectopic tissue and prevent rupture and severe internal bleeding.

  • Uterine Rupture Repair: A rare but life-threatening condition where the uterus tears along the scar line from a previous C-section. Immediate surgical intervention is crucial to save both the mother and baby.

  • Management of Severe Preeclampsia or Eclampsia: If high blood pressure complications progress into seizures or other severe symptoms, emergency surgery may be needed to deliver the baby and stabilize the mother’s condition.

Dr. Vidhyullatha’s expertise in managing emergency obstetric surgeries ensures the best possible outcomes, prioritizing the safety and health of both mother and baby in critical situations.
