"caesarean section"의 정의 및 의미

What is a "caesarean section"?

A cesarean section, often called a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through a cut made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. It is typically performed when a vaginal delivery would be too risky for the mother or baby, such as in cases of breech birth or complications with the placenta. The procedure is usually planned in advance or done in emergencies to ensure a safe delivery for both mother and baby.
