What is fetal lie?

Fetal lie refers to the position of the fetus in the uterus in relation to the mother's spine. It can be classified as longitudinal (parallel to the mother's spine), transverse (perpendicular to the mother's spine), or oblique (diagonal between longitudinal and transverse). The fetal lie is an important factor in determining the delivery method during childbirth.


Is the primary low transverse cesarean section and primary classical cesarean section the same?

No, the primary low transverse cesarean section and primary classical cesarean section are not the same. A low transverse cesarean section involves a horizontal incision made in the lower part of the uterus, which is more common and associated with fewer complications for future pregnancies. In contrast, a classical cesarean section involves a vertical incision in the upper part of the uterus, which can increase the risk of complications in subsequent pregnancies. Each type has specific indications and implications for maternal and fetal health.
