Caesarean section
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Caesarian section)
Jump to: navigation, search
A caesarean section (AE cesarean section), or c-section, is a form of childbirth in which a surgical incision is made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life at risk, although in the last decade it has been performed upon request.
