Cesarean Section

A Caesarean section (or Cesarean section in American English), also known as C-section or Caesar, is a surgical procedure in which incisions are made through a mothers abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the babys or mothers life or health at risk, although in recent times it has been also performed upon request for childbirths that could otherwise have been natural.The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that the rate of Caesarean sections should not exceed 15% in any country.
