Why elevate right side of patient during c section?

Elevating the right side of a patient during a cesarean section helps prevent supine hypotensive syndrome, which can occur when the gravid uterus compresses the inferior vena cava. This compression can lead to decreased venous return, resulting in a drop in blood pressure and reduced perfusion to the mother and fetus. Elevation allows for better blood flow and can improve maternal oxygenation, ultimately supporting a safer surgical environment. Additionally, this position can facilitate better surgical access and visibility for the surgeon.

Doctors NEVER remove the uterus during a c-section. What they actually do is make an incision (cut) into the abdominal and uterine walls (just below the belly button in most cases), then carefully extract the baby from the womb. While a few doctors then tend to the newborn, the surgeons that made the incision then suture the cuts closed.

The procedure is performed with the patient under a local anaesthetic, and can be completed in less than a couple hours. At no time during the surgery are any organs required to be removed.
