Abstract

Introduction

Caesarean delivery defines the birth of a foetus via laparotomy and then hysterotomy. It is the delivery of an infant, alive or dead, through an abdominal uterine incision after period of viability. From 1996 to 2011, the caesarean delivery rate in United States increase from 20% of all deliveries to 33%.  In India rate of the caesarean section raised 17.2% in 2015-16 (NFHS-4) in relation to 8.5% in 2005-06 (NFHS-3) data. Cesarean section rate in Rajasthan in 2015-16 was 8.6% as compare to 3.8% in 2005-06 (Source NFHS-3).1

A figure below 5% implies that a substantial proportion of woman do not have access to surgical obstetric care; on the other hand a rate higher than 15 percent indicate over utilization of the procedure for other than life saving reason (WHO;2010). The level of caesarean section is well above the mentioned WHO ratio of 15% for many of the countries, and it is increasing over the time.1
