	Cesarean Section: Encyclopedia of Surgery
		A cesarean section is a surgical procedure in which incisions are made through a woman's abdomen and uterus to deliver her baby.
		Cesarean sections, also called c-sections or cesarean deliveries, are performed whenever abnormal conditions complicate labor and vaginal delivery, threatening the life or health of the mother or the baby.
		Cesarean sections are considered to be major surgery and are therefore usually performed under the strict conditions of a hospital operating room.

	Cesarean Fact Sheet - Childbirth.org
		A cesarean section poses documented medical risks to the mother's health, including infections, hemorrhage, transfusion, injury to other organs, anesthesia complications, psychological complications, and a maternal mortality two to four times greater than that for a vaginal birth.
		An elective cesarean section increases the risk to the infant of premature birth and respiratory distress syndrome, both of which are associated with multiple complications, intensive care and burdensome financial costs.
		In 1989, a medical study done in Houston, Texas, concluded that epidural analgesia is associated with significant increases in the incidence of cesarean section for dystocia in women having their first labor.

		Many cesareans are quickly performed when the fetus or mother is showing signs of distress or when labor complications develop, such as umbilical cord problems or placenta problems like placenta abruptio.
		Examples of such known problems are a fetus in bottom-down breech position, a placenta that is blocking the cervix (placenta previa), a mother's chronic illness, preeclampsia, and in some cases, factors linked to a past cesarean delivery.

		Cesarean section, or c-section, is the surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the walls of the abdomen and uterus.
		The low-transverse procedure is performed the majority of time as it does not involve an incision in the uterine muscle wall, but rather in the fibrous lower segment of the uterus.
		There is an increased risk of maternal complications with c-section over vaginal delivery, generally due to the risks of anesthesia and surgery such as pneumonia, bleeding, infection, and injury to other organs such as the bladder or bowel.
