The Origins Of The Cesarean Section (C-Section).

The history of cesarean section (C-section) dates back as far as Ancient Roman times though nowadays
It is often performed when vaginal delivery is likely to put the mother or child at risk.

So during the ancient times , the C-section procedure was used to save mostly a baby from the womb of a mother who had died while giving birth.


The surgery was rarely performed because the survival rates would have been low after the procedure, due to the risk of bleeding and infection.

Historically, the surgery has always been performed to save the baby rather than the mother and the first recorded case of a mother surviving the surgery was in the 1500s though this was not recorded until 8 decades later {1580s} in Siegersausen, Switzerland where Jacob Nufer who was a pig gelder is said to have performed the operation on his wife when her labour was not progressing. The mother survived the operation and went on to have five more successful deliveries naturally.
