Ewe Caesarean section: reviewing the evidence base and sharing cross-country experiences part two

Abstract

This article aims to review the current literature base, and share findings of clinical experience from British and Norwegian first opinion and referral work in ovine Caesarean sections. It is not intended to replace existing excellent medicine and surgery texts describing Caesarean surgery (such as Scott, 2015 or Hendriksen and Baird, 2013) but to supplement these with additional information and to provide an updated review. We hope this article is particularly useful for those approaching their first Caesarean section in practice, and may stimulate further interest in capturing and sharing data held in first opinion practice. Part one looked at case selection, analgesia and surgery, while part two looks at the postoperative period and highlights the value of undertaking clinical audits of ovine medicines use and surgical procedures.
