Abstract

As the availability of obstetric care is improving, there is growing global concern regarding the increasing rates at which caesarean sections are being performed. In the event of life-threatening difficulties after childbirth, a cesarean section is surgically performed. The use of this surgical technique has been saving lives for quite some time. There is cause for alarm regarding the rising caesarean rates. Methods: Kakatiya Medical College in Warangal, Telangana conducted the current prospective research on 180 patients and their infants having elective and emergency caesarean sections between May 2021 to April 2022. The patients who were carrying their babies to term had extensive medical histories recorded. Results: It was noticed more maternal complications in emergency caesarean section group than in elective caesarean section. Neonatal complications are more common in Emergency C-section accounting for about 36 (30%) newborns. Conclusion: Caesarean section rate can be reduced by combined efforts at all levels and by encouraging hospital vaginal deliveries of all the primigravida, grand-multiparous pregnant women and those who had previous caesarean section, provided adequate fetal monitoring and operative facilities are available
