The obstetrics-gynecology team at Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital performed a successful c-section for a woman in her 30s suffering from obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.
Dr. Muna Qasim, the physician-in-charge, reported that the patient came for an emergency cesarean delivery. Her medical history made this surgery challenging and risky.
However, anesthesiologist Mohammed Ali administered local anesthesia successfully and the surgery went smoothly. The next day, the mother and her newborn were discharged in good health.
