Overview
C-section (Caesarean section) is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision in the abdomen and uterus. While vaginal delivery is often the preferred method, a C-section operation becomes necessary in certain situations for the health and safety of both mother and baby.
If you're looking for a c-section surgery in South Kolkata or a cesarean delivery hospital in Behala, trust Kasturi Medical Centre, a facility with experienced medical professionals who ensure safe delivery in complex situations.

When C-Section Delivery Is Needed
A C-section delivery is recommended in cases such as:
Previous C-section
Vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC) is not advisable since it can increase the risk of uterine rupture.
Obstructed labour
When the baby cannot pass through the birth canal safely due to a large head, also called Cephalopelvic disproportion.
Certain maternal health conditions
Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease may necessitate a c-section.
Foetal distress
When the baby's oxygen levels drop.
Breech position
If the baby is not positioned head-down.
Placenta previa
When the placenta covers the cervix.
