What is the Misgav-Ladach c-section?
The atraumatic cesarean section, according to Misgav-Ladach, is a modern surgical technique developed to improve the traditional cesarean section. This technique aims to make the procedure less invasive and traumatic for the mother without compromising the safety of both the mother and the child.
Advantages of Atraumatic Cesarean Section according to Misgav-Ladach
- Reduced tissue trauma. Precise incisions and gentle tissue handling minimize trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in less blood loss and faster recovery.
- Shorter operation time. The Misgav-Ladach technique allows for a more efficient surgical process, potentially leading to shorter operation times.

Preparation.
The expectant mother is informed about the procedure’s details and discusses potential risks and complications.
Incision.
Under anesthesia, a meticulous and precise incision, approximately two centimeters above the pubic symphysis, is performed. The subsequent layers are then delicately opened up to the anterior wall of the uterus, using only fingers instead of surgical instruments. This approach ensures swift access while minimizing risks to both mother and child.
Birth of the child.
Upon opening the uterine cavity, the baby is delivered with gentleness and sensitivity. We emphasize the delayed umbilical cord cutting to give your baby the optimal start in life. A dedicated neonatologist is present at every birth to examine your baby, ensuring comprehensive and expert care.
Wound Closure
The closure of all exposed layers is conducted with meticulous care and precision. Each step is executed with utmost attention to facilitate optimal wound healing and ensure the most effective treatment for the wounds.
Care and monitoring.
After the operation, the mother is cared for in the maternity clinic by our specialized staff and after about three to four days she is discharged.
