I. Cesarean section or vaginal delivery

Abstract

Optimal cesarean section rate is a compromise between the lowest possible number of cesarean sections compatible with the best clinical outcome. However, there is today a fear that the obstetrician will not be sued for having petformed a cesarean section but by not performing cesarean section. It is important to remember that the preoperative complication rate in cesarean section is about 11%, the majority of complications occurring in conjunction with emergency cesarean section, and taking the form of injection of hemorrhage. The risk of maternal death is 9-12 times greater after cesarean section than after vaginal delivery.
