A Caesarean section , (also C-section , Caesarian section , Cesarean section , Caesar , etc.) is a surgical procedure in which one or more incisions are made through a mother s abdomen ( laparotomy ) and uterus ( hysterotomy ) to deliver one or more babies , or, rarely, to remove a dead fetus . A late-term abortion using Caesarean section procedures is termed a hysterotomy abortion and is very rarely performed. The first modern Caesarean section was performed by German gynecologist Ferdinand Adolf Kehrer in 1881. A Caesarean section is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby s or mother s life or health at risk, although in recent times it has been also performed upon request for childbirths that could otherwise have been natural. In recent years the rate has risen to a record level of 46% in China and to levels of 25% and above in many Asian and European countries, Latin America, and the United States.
