Maternal preferences are an important influence ondecisions about mode of delivery. At present, evidence oflonger-term complications of caesarean delivery has not beenadequately synthesized to allow fully informed decisions aboutmode of delivery to be made. Hence; the present study wasundertaken for assessing maternal consequences ofcaesarean section.Materials & Methods: Data record of a total of 130 womenwas enrolled in the present study. These 130 women werebroadly divided into two study groups as follows: Group 1:Primary elective group (n=58), and Group 2: Failed vaginaldelivery (n=72). Complete demographic details of all thesubjects were obtained from the data record files. An excelchart was prepared and outcome and complications wererecorded systematically.Results: Overall, out of 130 females, complications were foundto be present in 18 women (13.85%). However; among patientsof Group 1, complications were found to be present in 5patients (8.62%) while among patients of Group 2,complications were found to be present in 13 patients(18.06%). On comparing statistically, overall prevalence ofcomplications was significantly higher among patients of group2. Uterine corpus was the most common maternal complicationwas found to be present in 2 patients of group 1 and 4 patientsof group 2.Conclusion: Emergency caesarean section is associated withsignificantly higher risk of maternal complications incomparison to elective caesarean procedures.CaesareanComplicationsMaternalJournal ArticleIndiaMBBS, MS (Obs & Gynae), Assistant Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Narayan Medical College and Hospital, Sasaram, Bihar, IndiaMBBS, MD (Pediatrics), Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Narayan Medical College and Hospital, Sasaram, Bihar, India
