    GlossaryCesarean Section

    surgical delivery of a baby through abdominal and uterine incisions

    A Cesarean Section, often abbreviated as C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. This method is typically employed when a vaginal delivery would pose a risk to the mother or baby, such as in cases of fetal distress, abnormal positioning of the baby, or complications like placenta previa.
