Anaemia (67.68%), pregnancy induced hypertension (10.1%) were common among the antenatal complications. The rate of emergency CS was 85% while elective CS was 15%. Main indications for Caesarean section operation were: fetal distress (40%), pre-eclamptic toxaemia (12%) and disproportion (10%). Maximum number of caesarean operation was performed under Spinal anasthesia (95%).Maternal morbidity was 20%. Out of them, febrile 6(30%), post-operative infections 4(20%), were most common. The less common complications were post partum haemorrhage, spinal headache. There was zero maternal mortality. In this study, 87% babies were born with good APGAR (Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity and Respiration) score. Perinatal mortality was observed in 5% cases. Severe asphyxia, very low birth weight, chorioamnitis and stillborn were the cause of death. Maximum number of the patients (86%) were discharged on 4th day post operatively.
