HISTORY AND ANATOMY OF CESAREAN SECTION

Cesarean section is the delivery process that allows the babies who cannot be born vaginally by opening the abdominal wall and uterus. During the incision in the abdomen to reach the uterus, many layers are intervened. Cesarean section is widely used today. The first record of cesarean section in history goes back to 2000 BC. Numerous techniques have been used for Cesarean section surgery, with the discovery of human anatomy and the development of surgical and anesthesia techniques, it has reached today's standards. Because the site is anatomically complicated, it is important for clinicians to know the history of the surgery and the anatomical structure of the region. Our aim is to examine the history and anatomical development of this widely used cesarean section. .
