Cesarean birth: Surgical technique - UpToDate

Thousands of randomized trials have evaluated the technique for cesarean birth. This topic will review each step in the procedure and provide evidence-based recommendations for surgical technique, citing the best available data. In many cases when comparisons showed statistical significance, the absolute differences are so small that differences in outcome among surgical techniques are not clinically important; in these settings, time and cost savings assume greater importance [1]. Other aspects of cesarean birth are reviewed separately: ● (See "Cesarean birth: Preincision planning and patient preparation".) ● (See "Anesthesia for cesarean delivery".) ● (See "Cesarean birth: Postoperative care, complications, and long-term sequelae".) ● (See "Repeat cesarean birth".) ● (See "Cesarean birth on patient request".) ENHANCED RECOVERY AFTER SURGERY GUIDELINES The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society has published a three-part ERAS Cesarean Delivery Guideline for perioperative care
