Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Bladder flap haematomas are an uncommon complication post-caesarian section and occur between the uterus and the posterior wall of the urinary bladder."

Line 1:74 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-caesarian'.
Litotes
warning

"Notably, bladder flap haematomas measuring less than 4 cm are generally not considered clinically significant. For patients who are haemodynamically stable, conservative treatment and broad-spectrum antibiotics may be administered as the first choice. However, in patients with severe haemorrhage or with haematoma accompanied by clinical signs of intra-abdominal infection, surgical treatment is recommended 4,5."

Line 17:76 · Consider using 'ignored' instead of 'not considered'
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"The various options for treatment include conservative medical management, percutaneous or transvaginal drainage, and laparoscopy or laparotomy for significant collections."

Line 16:67 · Use the Oxford comma in 'management, percutaneous or transvaginal'.
