Cesárea - Riesgos

  • Infección de la vejiga o el útero
  • Lesión a las vías urinarias
  • Lesión al bebé

Una cesárea también puede causar problemas en futuros embarazos y comprende un riesgo mayor de:

  • Placenta previa
  • Placenta que crece dentro del músculo del útero y tiene problema para separarse después de que el bebé nace (placenta adherida)
  • Ruptura uterina

Todas las cirugías conllevan riesgos. Los riesgos debido a la anestesia pueden abarcar:

  • Reacciones a los medicamentos
  • Problemas respiratorios
