Abstract
Background: The progressive increase in the incidence of caesarean section during the last few decades has been constant worldwide, increasing; at the same time, the indications, many of them unnecessary, resulting in indiscriminate practice, becoming the most frequent surgical intervention performed in health institutions, both private and public. Caesarean section is preferred as an emergency or elective procedure depending on the maternal and fetal conditions. It has been seen that risk of surgical complications is greater with emergency as compared with elective caesarean section.
Materials and Methods: Present study is a retrospective study, designed to evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes in elective versus emergency caesarean sections performed at our hospital from January 2023 to December 2023.
Results: Out of total 2573 deliveries conducted, 1496 were normal deliveries, 116 were instrumental and 961 were caesarean deliveries, 446 were emergency and 515 were elective caesarean section. In our study overall operative complications were 114(11.8%) which was mainly contributed to emergency group.
Conclusions: The elective caesarean section shows less maternal and perinatal complications as compared to emergency caesarean sections.
Keywords: Caesarean section, Fetal outcome, Maternal outcome.
