A caesarean section, often abbreviated as C-section, is a surgical procedure performed to deliver a baby.

The decision to perform a caesarean section may be made due to various factors such as fetal distress or maternal health conditions.

During a caesarean section, incisions are made in the mother's abdomen and uterus to deliver the baby.

Caesarean sections can be planned in advance or performed as emergency procedures during labor.
