A cesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure in which a baby is delivered through an incision in the abdomen and uterus instead of through a vaginal birth.
A private cesarean section allows patients to receive personalized medical care, more comfortable conditions, and the opportunity to coordinate the birth with a specialist physician of their choice.
A private elective C-section (scheduled in advance and not performed in an emergency) is a planned surgical procedure performed for various medical indications. Elective surgery allows the patient to choose the timing of the birth within a medically appropriate timeframe and select the medical team that will accompany her throughout the entire process.
For women who already know they will deliver by cesarean section, choosing a private C-section can provide a more controlled, personalized and calm birth experience under optimal medical conditions.
One of the main advantages of a private cesarean section is the ability to choose an experienced surgeon who will accompany the patient throughout the entire process. This provides reassurance and continuity of care before, during, and after the surgery.
A private procedure allows for full coordination of the delivery date (within the medically recommended window), enabling better planning for the mother and her family.
After the surgery, the patient benefits from close personal care during recovery and in the maternity ward. Effective pain management allows earlier mobilization and smoother recovery.
Private care removes much of the uncertainty associated with public healthcare scheduling, where procedures are often influenced by emergency priorities and hospital workload. This can provide significant peace of mind.
In a friendly cesarean section, the mother and her partner are active participants in the birth. The baby can be seen during delivery through a sterile transparent screen, and immediate skin-to-skin contact is possible shortly after the umbilical cord is cut.
A private cesarean section may be appropriate in the following situations :
Parameter | Private Cesarean Section | Public Cesarean Section |
Surgeon selection | Patient can choose the surgeon and maintain continuity of care | Depends on hospital availability |
Conditions & recovery | Private rooms and personalized care | Shared maternity wards |
Scheduling | Planned in advance with minimal delays | Depends on urgency and hospital workload |
Surgical approach | “Friendly” abdominal birth experience and refined cosmetic closure | Depends on available staff and resources |
A private cesarean section under the care of Dr. Gavish offers numerous advantages:
The process begins with a consultation appointment where medical history is reviewed, necessary tests are performed, and the indication for surgery is discussed.
Preparation includes fasting, blood tests, and general preoperative instructions.
The procedure is usually performed under regional anesthesia (spinal or epidural), although general anesthesia may be used when necessary. The operating room environment can be adapted to the patient’s preferences whenever possible. During the birth of the newborn from the uterus and abdomen, the couple can watch the process through a transparent sterile covering and thus be part of the miracle of creation, a sight that is not possible even during a normal birth.
After surgery, the patient is monitored by a professional medical team in the recovery unit and later in the maternity ward.
Most patients are discharged within 48–96 hours, with detailed instructions for recovery at home.
Private cesarean sections can be performed in a limited number of hospitals in Israel, including:
Dr. Gavish performs private cesarean sections at Maayanei Hayeshua Medical Center in Bnei Brak, where he also serves as the head of the gynecologic surgery department.
