Services and treatments

For Women:

- Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean Section (ERACS) Cesarean delivery now offers faster recovery and minimal pain with the ERACS method. Compared to conventional cesarean sections, ERACS is designed to enhance comfort for mothers before and after childbirth.

Our obstetrician team uses the latest cesarean techniques, which have proven benefits, such as:

a. Reduced pain

b. Less bleeding

c. Shorter operation time

d. Smaller doses of anesthetic drugs

e. Lower risk of complications such as surgical site infections, adhesions, and hernias

f. Less frequent issues with incision scars, such as hypertrophic scarring and keloids

Postpartum care with the ERACS method aims to facilitate early breastfeeding initiation, making long-term breastfeeding more successful.

ERACS is a comprehensive service involving hospital management, obstetricians, anesthesiologists, pediatricians, and clinical nutritionists. Tzu Chi Hospital has implemented the ERACS method for patients undergoing cesarean delivery.
