A caesarean is a surgical procedure that involves removal of the fetus through an orifice. This surgical incision can be made either in the abdomen (laparotomy) or, in the womb of the mother. The use of this technique is indicated at the possibility that a vaginal delivery would lead to medical complications. The operation is relatively safe for the mother and child but requires a longer time than vaginal birth recovery period.
