Abstract :

OBJECTIVE: The Aim of this Study is to assess and analysis the rate of caesarean section with particular reference to primary caesarean delivery. MATERIALS AND METHODS : Retrospective study done in a teaching institute collecting the data of C/S particularly primary C/S, which is done in cases of primigravida over a period of one year i.e., from Jan to Dec 2011. RESULTS : The overall C/S rate in our institute was 24.73% and primary C/S 27.87% where cephalopelvic disproportion was the leading cause of C/S. CONCLUSION : The raising rate of primary C/S is very alarming since it determines the overall C/S rate in the society. With a good mix of staff in the labour wards both consultants and midwives and judicious of electronic fetal heart monitoring we can reduce the rate of C/S/
