Primary cesarean section with low-cervical uterine incision Details: The abdomen was sterilely prepped and draped for cesarean section. After ascertaining the adequacy of the anesthetic, a Pfannenstiel incision was made approximately 3 finger breaths above the public symphysis and carried down to the level of the fascia. The fascia was dissected off the underlying rectus muscles. A transverse curvilinear incision was made in the lower uterine segment and extended upward and laterally. Fetal membranes were ruptured and a viable male infant was delivered. Umbilical cord was doubly clamped and cut. The placenta was delivered by manual extraction. The uterus was exteriorized.
