Abstract
Out of 661 deliveries in a district general hospital in 3 Months, 100 (15·1 per cent) were by caesarean section. Of these, 35 sections were performed for delay in the first stage, 16 for breech presentation, 9 for fetal distress and 12 were repeat operations. The study suggests that fewer inductions in the presence of an unfavourable cervix and fewer sections for breech presentation might reduce the caesarean section rate.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
