On average, a caesarean section takes 45 minutes to 1 hour, starting from giving anaesthesia all the way to abdominal closure. However, several factors can influence the total duration of the surgery:
Planned vs. Emergency C-Section: Trying for a labour trial before shifting to an emergency C-section can alter timing compared to a scheduled procedure.
Surgical History & Adhesions: Previous abdominal surgeries may cause adhesions between the uterus, bowel, and bladder, requiring extra care and time to separate them before making incisions.
Post-Delivery Complications (Uterine Atony): If the uterine muscle fails to contract post-delivery, medications or surgical steps (like restricting blood supply) are needed to control blood loss, extending surgery time.
