Cesarean section incision along the posterior uterine wall – an obstetric and surgical complication of an obstructed pelvis due to previous endometriosis

Cesarean section on posterior wall

Abstract

Pelvic endometriosis is a well-known clinical risk factor for pelvic inflammation and adhesions. We present a complex case of a woman undergoing a cesarean section where the traditional incision on the anterior lower uterine segment was not possible due to a congested pelvis. The newborn was delivered using a posterior uterine wall incision with rotation of the round ligament.
