Abstract
This article presents a historical review of the performance of 23 cesarean sections at the King’s Maternity Hospital and
Midwifery School in Zagreb during the 1908-1918 period. Following prenatal screening by midwives and doctors in the
hospital, deliveries in high risk pregnant women were performed at maternity hospitals, not at home. The most common
indication for cesarean section was narrowed pelvis in 65.2% of women, while postpartum febrile condition was the most
common complication in the puerperium. Maternal mortality due to sepsis after the procedure was 8.69% and overall
perinatal mortality was 36.3% (stillbirths and early neonatal deaths).
