Organ Injury With Cesarean Section

Organ Injury With Cesarean Section: An Overview

During a

 cesarean section, there is a risk of damage to your organs. Organs that may be damaged include:

 
  • Intestines
  • Bladder
  • Ureters
  • Ovaries
  • Fallopian tubes
  • Uterus.
     
If any organ injury with cesarean section does occur, the treatment options will vary depending on the damage. In most cases, these injuries are obvious and repaired if necessary. They usually heal without a problem. If they do not heal, another surgery may be needed.
 
Sometimes, an injury to an organ may not appear at the time of the cesarean section, but shows up later. In these cases, another surgery may be needed to repair the problem.
