  • Cesarean Section Anesthesia

    We focus on comprehensive pain management for cesarean sections. We employ “multimodal analgesia,” combining epidural analgesia, targeted nerve blocks for incisional pain, and systemic pain medications (both IV and oral). While anesthesia for cesarean sections following labor epidurals can be technically challenging, our experienced specialists ensure to provide safe management.
