AB  - Cesarean  delivery  defines  the  birth  of  a  fetus  via  laparotomy  and  then  hysterotomy.  The  origin  of  caesarean  is  uncertain  and  was  reviewed  in  the  23rd  edition  of  Williams  Obstetrics  (Cunningham,  2010).  There  are  two  general  types  of  cesarean  delivery—primary  refers  to  a  first-time  hysterotomy  and  secondary  denotes  a  uterus  with  one  or  more  prior  hysterotomy  incisions.  Neither  definition  includes  removal  of  the  fetus  from  the  abdominal  cavity  in  the  case  of  uterine  rupture  or  with  abdominal  pregnancy.  Rarely,  hysterotomy  is  performed  in  a  woman  who  has  just  died  or  in  whom  death  is  expected  soon—postmortem  or  perimortem  cesarean  delivery  (Chap.  47,  Cardiopulmonary  Resuscitation).
