  • Title: Applying Vernix Caseosa for Accidental Foetal Lacerations during Caesarean Delivery: A Case Series.
    Author: Halim B, Lubis HP, Adiwinata T.
    Journal: J Mother Child; 2023 Jun 01; 27(1):114-118. PubMed ID: 37668443.
    Abstract:
    The caesarean section is a frequently performed method of delivery. Although the caesarean section is a low-risk and safe surgery, there is an increase in maternal and infant morbidity and mortality due to caesarean delivery. One of the most common infant morbidities is foetal laceration. Caesarean delivery has a 1-2% risk of laceration to the foetus. Various methods have been proposed to deal with laceration wounds. Studies have been conducted on vernix caseosa, which can heal wounds on the skin. This case series report aims to demonstrate that vernix caseosa application is a wound healing method that is highly effective, costless, and of immediate availability.
