A Cesarean section is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the mother's abdomen and uterus, often performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby or mother at risk. It is a major surgery with potential risks and benefits, and the decision to perform it is based on various medical indications and maternal preferences.
