Caesarean Section on Demand: Dilemma between Ethics and Autonomy

Journal Title: Pan Asian Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

Caesarean section on demand (CSOD) has recently gained attention as first caesarean is the most important determinant of subsequent caesarean sections. Although vaginal birth is thought to be safer, caesarean section has also become safer with the advancement in the caesarean technique, suture material, availability of antibiotics, heparin, blood products and good anaesthesia.
