What is the csection where they cut the muscle? why do they do that>
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Classical section: A classical c-section involves a vertical incision through the muscle fibers, rather than the now-typical low transverse incision, where you are cutting between them. Classical sections are typically used in emergencies, as it is sometimes faster, and in an emergency, seconds count.
