To choose the best mode of delivery (vaginal versus caesarean section) still remains a contentious issue. Caesarean section is a major abdominal surgery with its related medical, anesthetic and surgical complications. Maternal mortality and morbidity is higher in caesarean section compared with vaginal delivery. The most common causes of maternal mortality during caesarean section are due to anesthesia, bleeding and infection.
