Watching cesarean surgery images has become possible today
with the spread of youtube-like sites on the Internet. However, it is a
controversial issue whether such images will bring benefit or harm to the patient
and his wife and their relatives. The same applies to all surgeries, not just
cesarean.
A patient can easily learn the general information about the
surgery and the stages of the operation, which part of the body will be cut,
how many centimeters will be incised, whether there will be a scar, how long
the surgery will last, and many other issues by asking his doctor. Apart from
this, monitoring the stages of the operation, seeing how it is done, seeing the
bleeding and cutting, suturing processes during that time does not bring the
patient anything. It may even cause anxiety and anxiety. Because surgery is an
event that even a doctor gets used to watching over and over again. It is not
possible for a person who is not professional in this regard to be surprised or
impaired (badly) by watching it one or more times. An ordinary and usual event
during surgery may seem very extraordinary and terrible to the patient. For
these reasons, it is enough for a patient to listen to the surgery that he /
she will have, and do not need to watch it. There is a possibility of harm
rather than benefit. A patient who listens and understands the features of the
operation with the description of his doctor will enter the surgery in the most
peaceful and calm way. However, the patient who is watching such videos and
images will wait for the day of surgery with a lot of unnecessary question
marks in his head. Many of these question marks are not important issues like
the patient thinks. However, the patient may consider them very important due
to his insufficient knowledge on the subject and may feel unnecessary anxiety,
anxiety, and fear. The opposite is unfortunately not true. In other words, a
patient can never say "I have more detailed information about the surgery,
so that the question marks in my head are gone, now I can have a more
comfortable and peaceful surgery" by watching the operation images. Only a
patient who listens to his doctor's recipes can say it. Thus, the peaceful and
carefree waits for the day of surgery enter the surgery in the same way with
the comfort of learning the necessary information and the confidence of the
doctor.
Your doctor knows how much and what kind of information you
need to learn about the surgery and will tell you accordingly. It does not
convey unnecessary information that you do not need to know or even know if you
can be confused and harm you. The main purpose of informing the patient about
the surgery is to teach the patient all the possible and good effects of
surgery on the patient, it is the right of every patient to know them. Apart
from this, it also tells the patient about the general features of the
operation. For example, whether the surgery will be performed laparoscopically
open, which part of the body will be cut, how many cm will be an incision, how
will the image change and scar from the outside after the surgery, how many
minutes will the surgery last, how many days will be hospitalized after the
surgery, the patient will fully recover and How many days will it take to return
to her normal life, work, will additional medication be required before or
after the surgery, may she need to reoperate due to recurrence of the disease,
is there any other alternative to the surgery?
