Ayushman Hospital – Comprehensive Guide to Caesarean Section with Sterilization Services
A C-section with sterilization is a surgical procedure that combines a standard C-section delivery with female sterilization to avert future births. Women who have made the decision to cease childbearing and desire a permanent method of birth control simultaneously benefit the most from this procedure. Dr. Anju Kumar and her expert team aim to provide safe and effective C-section with sterilization services while ensuring the long-term family planning needs are met alongside the health and wellbeing of mother and child at Ayushman Hospital.
What is a Cesarean Section with Sterilization?
A sterilization C-section is performed by surgically delivering the baby through an incision made on the abdomen and uterus and performing tubal ligation where the fallopian tubes are cut, tied or sealed to avert future pregnancies. Given that the sterilization procedure is done alongside the birth, it is very safe and efficient to add it into family planning as there is minimal surgical time added.
Who is a Good Candidate for this Procedure?
- Women who opt to stop with childbearing and have completed their family are best suited.
- For women who seek an effortless mechanism of permanent birth control with no need of a separate surgery, then this procedure serves best.
- Women possessing medical conditions who may encounter health issues in future pregnancies.
- Have spoken with their doctor and partner (if applicable) regarding their decision.
How Is This Done?
- C-Section Delivery – Delivery of the baby is achieved through a horizontal cut on the lower part of the abdomen, like any other Cesarean section.
- Sterilization (Ligation of Tubes) – Following delivery of the baby and removal of the placenta, the physician performs tubal sterilization by one of these methods:
- Cutting and ligating the tube(s)
- Clipping or ring occlusion
- Cautery (burning) closure of the tubes
- Closure of Incisions – The uterine and abdominal wall are sutured, and the mother is placed in the recovery area for observation.
The surgical procedure and hospital stay usually lasts for 24-48 hours. The expected duration of the operation is 1 hour in total, with tubal ligation requiring approximately 10-15 minutes additional time over the standard duration of a cesarean section.
Advantages of Combined Caesarean Section and Sterilization
- Birth Control – Enables the option of contraception that is safe and precise, thus no further steps are needed.
- No Other Surgery Needed – Because the procedure is performed during the C-section, it obviously does not require another surgical procedure along with the recovery period.
- Faster Recovery – In contrast to the separate procedure, this method provides for simultaneous recovery from all surgical procedures.
- Cost-Effective – Performing both surgeries at the same time saves money if the person later requires sterilization.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Mothers have to stay in the hospital for about 3-4 days for post-surgical supervision.
- Pain medications are provided for the relief of discomfort.
- Do not lift heavy weights or perform strenuous activities for at least six weeks.
- Most women can perform a normal activity about 6-8 weeks after the surgery.
- Be very sure before opting for sterilization because the procedure itself is permanent.
Are There Any Risks?
Even though sterilization with a C-section is usually safe, some risks include
- Infection at the site of incision
- Heavy bleeding (hemorrhage)
- Scar tissue that may result in other abdominal surgeries becoming complicated and difficult
- Sterilization remorse (a small number of women change their mind later)
