Explain the lecture's definition of CS and distinguish it from hysterotomy.
Answer
CS is delivery of fetus, placenta, and membranes by abdominal and uterine incisions after the age of viability, specified as 28 weeks. Abdominal delivery before 28 weeks is termed hysterotomy.
Explanation
A complete answer identifies the abdominal and uterine route, the delivered contents, and the lecture's 28-week threshold. It then distinguishes earlier abdominal delivery as hysterotomy. **Key takeaway:** Include both route and gestational age in the distinction. **Glossary:** **Viability**: the threshold used in the lecture to distinguish CS from hysterotomy.
