      The technique for cesarean delivery includes the following:
      Laparotomy via midline infraumbilical, vertical, or transverse (eg, Pfannenstiel, Mayland, Joel Cohen) incision
      Hysterotomy via a transverse (Monroe-Kerr) or vertical (eg, Kronig, DeLee) incision
      Fetal delivery
      Uterine repair
      Closure
      If patient has been counseled and consented prior to the procedure, an IUD can be placed prior to the repair of the hysterotomy or a Levonorgestrel subdermal implant can be placed in the patient's arm at this time

        @sabuj Approximately 2-fold increase in maternal mortality and morbidity with cesarean delivery relative to a vaginal delivery: Partly related to the procedure itself, and partly related to conditions that may have led to needing to perform a cesarean delivery
