Abdominal delivery, commonly known as a cesarean section or C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus. This method is often chosen when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby, such as in cases of breech presentation, multiple pregnancies, or previous uterine surgeries. During the procedure, the mother is typically given anesthesia to ensure comfort. The surgeon makes a horizontal or vertical incision, removes the baby, and then closes the incisions. Abdominal delivery can be planned in advance or performed as an emergency procedure, depending on the circumstances surrounding the birth.
