Emergency Cesarean Section

An emergency cesarean section, often called a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby when a vaginal birth poses risks to the mother or child. This may happen due to complications such as distress in the baby, abnormal positioning, or issues with the placenta. The procedure involves making incisions in the mother’s abdomen and uterus to safely extract the baby. It is typically performed quickly to ensure the health and safety of both the mother and the infant, and is a critical response in situations where immediate intervention is necessary.
