Abstract
Caesarean section is the operative intervention for the delivery of a fetus that is unable to deliver vaginally due to indications like obstructed labor, cephalo-pelvic disproportion, etc. Recent studies indicate a rising trend in the number of C-sections performed annually and the impact it may have on maternal and fetal well-being.
