We have performed a selective expert evaluation of 111 cases of lethal outcomes of newborns delivered by cesarean section. In the total number of operations performed during the study period, the number of neonates who died by means of this surgical intervention was 5.8%. The incidence of infant deaths after cesarean section in the early neonatal period among all neonatal deaths during the same period reached 24.8%. The high proportion of children delivered by cesarean section in the structure of early neonatal mortality indicates the relevance and practical significance of studying the causes of infant mortality in this group.
