surgical delivery

Surgical delivery, also known as a cesarean section or C-section, is a medical procedure used to deliver a baby through surgical incisions made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. It is typically performed when vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby, such as fetal distress, labor complications, or health conditions. The procedure is done in an operating room under anesthesia, allowing the healthcare team to safely and quickly deliver the baby. Recovery usually takes a few days, and it’s a common, safe method of childbirth used worldwide.
