(Dr. Lia Tadesse:) This surgical video on Caesarean section that you'll be viewing now is

done on a 26 year old prime- gravidae lady at gestational age of 42 weeks for an indication of failed induction.

It was an emergency Caesarean section.

The surgery was done by Dr. Richard Adanu, who is an OBGYN at the University of Ghana.

Almost all of the surgery is similar to how we do it here,

but there may be a few differences in the techniques of how we do it.

During the explanation, we will point out those areas of differences.

I hope you enjoy the videos. (Video transcribed by Kathleen Omollo, University of Michigan)
