Comprehensive diagnosis, treatment & infertility care by Dr Ushasi Mukherjee
A Cesarean section, commonly known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. While normal vaginal delivery is always preferred when medically possible, a C-section becomes essential in certain situations to protect the health and safety of both mother and baby. Under the expert care of Dr. Ushashi Mukharjee, C-section deliveries are planned and performed with the highest standards of safety, precision, and compassionate care.
A C-section is a well-established obstetric procedure recommended when vaginal delivery may pose risks. It can be either a planned (elective) C-section or an emergency C-section, depending on the medical condition of the mother or baby. Modern surgical techniques and anesthesia have made C-sections significantly safer, with quicker recovery times and excellent outcomes.
Dr. Ushashi Mukharjee carefully evaluates each pregnancy to determine the safest mode of delivery. A C-section may be advised in the following situations:
Scheduled in advance when known medical factors make vaginal delivery unsafe. This allows proper preparation, counseling, and a calm birthing experience.
Performed when unexpected complications arise during labor. Quick decision-making and skilled surgical care are crucial in such cases.
Dr. Mukharjee ensures that patients and their families are well informed and supported in both scenarios.
The surgery is usually performed under spinal or epidural anesthesia, allowing the mother to remain awake without feeling pain. A controlled incision is made in the lower abdomen and uterus, and the baby is delivered safely. The entire procedure typically takes 45–60 minutes, with the baby delivered within the first few minutes.
A dedicated team of anesthetists, pediatricians, and nursing staff works alongside Dr. Ushashi Mukharjee to ensure optimal care.
Recovery after a C-section requires adequate rest and post-operative care. Most mothers can sit up and start gentle movement within 24 hours. Hospital stay usually ranges from 3 to 4 days.
Common aspects of recovery include:
While not a replacement for natural delivery, a C-section can be life-saving in critical situations. Benefits include:
Like any surgery, C-section carries certain risks such as infection, bleeding, or delayed recovery. However, when performed by an experienced gynaecologist with proper post-operative care, complications are minimal. Dr. Ushashi Mukharjee discusses all risks, future pregnancy considerations, and delivery planning in detail with her patients.
Dr. Ushashi Mukharjee is committed to providing ethical, patient-centered maternity care. Her approach to C-section delivery focuses on medical necessity, maternal safety, and emotional wellbeing.
