Procedure, part 2
After the anesthesia takes effect, the surgeon makes an abdominal incision. In non-emergency C-sections, the surgeon usually makes a horizontal incision (a bikini cut) across the abdomen, just above the pubic area. In an emergency situation, the surgeon may prefer a vertical cut, from below the navel to just above the pubic area. A vertical cut allows quicker access to the baby
