Errors in Performing a C-Section
Cesarean sections, or C-sections, are often recommended to address complications that arise during the childbirth process. Even though this is an increasingly common procedure, it needs to be performed with care, because even a minor error can have devastating results.
Errors can result in physical damage to the child during the procedure, including damage to the child's head or shoulders. Injuries to the mother are also common in C-section errors. These injuries include a perforated bowel or bladder, which can be particularly traumatic if the injuries are not noticed and immediately addressed after they happen.
Failure to Perform a C-Section
Perhaps more common than errors in performing a C-section is the problem of completely failing to perform the procedure when indicated. In some cases, doctors may have failed to take into account existing conditions, such as mothers who have previously had C-sections. In these cases, there is increased risk of uterine rupture and other complications. Of course, there are also situations in which an emergency C-section is indicated. These situations tend to involve fetal distress and lack of oxygen to the fetus. Doctors should be held accountable for failing to perform this routine procedure when indicated.
