title: [Clinical experience with a C-section surgical technique in patients with morbid obesity: a case series].
abstract: Obesity is a public health challenge that has crossed into the area of reproductive health. An obese pregnant woman has multiple complications before, during, and after pregnancy. Likewise, cesarean section is more difficult and has slower recovery times in this group of patients. This paper proposes a surgical technique adapted to the morbidly obese pregnant patient that aims to reduce cesarean section complications.
