Caesarean section
Planned and emergency, with the same hands.
Whether your caesarean is planned weeks ahead or needed urgently in labour, the operation is performed with the same focus on safety, communication and recovery.
Planned (elective) Caesarean section
From 39 weeks A planned caesarean is usually done from 39 weeks for medical or personal reasons: a breech baby, a low-lying placenta, pre-eclampsia, or an informed maternal choice. Mr Orabi takes time to talk through the operation in advance: what happens on the day, anaesthesia options, recovery, and future birth planning.
Emergency Caesarean section
24/7 on-call rota An emergency caesarean is done where vaginal birth becomes unsafe (for example, where the baby is not coping with labour, where there is heavy bleeding, or where labour is not progressing safely). Mr Orabi has performed thousands of emergency caesareans across multiple health systems and is one of the consultants on the Jersey on-call rota.
