The midwife assisting on the side widened her eyes, watching Mo Yan's movements carefully, afraid of missing the slightest detail. If she could learn this technique, could she use it when faced with a difficult childbirth where otherwise only the baby could be saved?
Sensing the midwife's thoughts, Mo Yan finished the last stitch and made a knot in a concealed spot, then advised the midwife, "This method is too risky, I do not recommend you use it."
In modern times, a C-section is not a difficult surgery, mainly because of the advanced equipment available. Here, even if one could manage a barely adequate Surgical Knife, postoperative infection was a hard problem to solve.
To Mo Yan's knowledge, there was no anti-infective medication suitable for the inflamed incisions of pregnant women in this era. Especially when suturing the uterus, if it weren't for her resourcefulness, she wouldn't have been confident about not affecting fertility.
