to d Skin incision, uterotomy and delivery of the baby. a The skin incision is done along the skin folds and b the fascia are dissected above pyramidalis muscles. c The uterotomy is done using blunt forceps and scissors. d The baby is “born” by expanding the uterine wound using the fingertips to cranially push the edges of the wound (arrows pointing cranially) over the babyʼs head like a collar and exerting pressure on the uterine fundus (from 12). The pressure on the fundus moves the babyʼs head in a caudal direction (s. arrows).
