Obstetric Procedures

Induction of labor means getting the process of childbirth (labor) started before it happens naturally on its own. This is done with the use of medicines or, in some cases, surgical methods.
During pregnancy, the cervix is closed to keep the baby inside the uterus. Once in labor, the cervix needs to open, or dilate, wide enough to let the baby come through. When the cervix changes from being closed and firm to soft and thin, this is called cervical ripening
A cesarean section is an operation that delivers a baby through a cut in your abdomen and uterus. The uterus is the muscular organ at the top of the vagina. Babies develop in the uterus, and menstrual blood comes from the uterus. This procedure is also called a C-section
External cephalic version is the changing of a baby’s position in the uterus by manipulation of the mother’s abdomen. Usually it is done to turn a breech baby to a vertex (headfirst) position. A breech baby’s bottom or feet are in position to come out before the head during delivery though the birth canal. Such a delivery may be hazardous. For example, the baby’s head may become trapped in the mother’s cervix. If the baby is moved to a headfirst position, you may avoid having a vaginal breech delivery or cesarean section
Circumcision means cutting off the foreskin, or ring of tissue, that covers the head of the penis. It is usually done the day your newborn goes home from the hospital
Treatment for cervical incompetence is a surgical procedure called cervical cerclage, in which the cervix is sewn closed during pregnancy. The cervix is the lowest part of the uterus and extends into the vagina. A cervical cerclage procedure may be used if a woman’s cervix is at risk of opening under the pressure of the growing pregnancy. A weak cervix may be the result of: History of second-trimester miscarriages A previous “cone biopsy” or a “LEEP” procedure Damaged cervix by pregnancy termination

Vaginoplasty is a procedure that aims to "tighten up" a vagina that's become slack or loose from vaginal childbirth or aging. This can even improve sensitivity. Labiaplasty, plastic surgery on the labia (the “lips" surrounding the vagina), can be performed alone or with vaginoplasty. Surgery can be performed on the labia major (the larger, outer vaginal lips), or the labia minor (the smaller, inner vaginal lips). Labiaplasty changes the size or shape of the labia, typically making them smaller or correcting an asymmetry between them
