A patient has a first, preplanned CS using a lower-segment incision. Classify it using the lecture's separate dimensions.
Answer
It is elective by timing, lower-segment by uterine incision, and primary by number.
Explanation
The case combines three independent classification axes: timing, uterine incision, and number of prior procedures. Since it is the first CS, it is primary; because it is planned before labour, it is elective; the incision identifies it as lower-segment. **Key takeaway:** Apply each classification dimension separately. **Glossary:** **Lower segment**: lower portion of the uterus.
