Abstract :
The study conducted in retrospective manner in 25 bedded Private Anand Hospital, a Maternity Hospital Islampur, Sangli in rural Maharashtra. The rates and indications of Primary and repeat Caesarean sections (CS) were analyzed among 147 live births during the year 2015 and present caesarean section rate was compared with 2005 and 2010 Caesarean rates. In our study, the Caesarean section rate was 25.85%. There is an increase in the CS rate over last decade from 17.14% in 2005, 22.77% in 2010 to 25.85% in 2015. The main contribution to this rise in CS is due to increase in number of repeat CS. CS becomes increasingly the procedure of choice in high risk pregnancies to prevent perinatal morbidity and mortality. This has become possible due to improved patient care, availability of effective antibiotics, blood transfusion services, safer anaesthesia, improved surgical technique and sophisticated neonatal care services even in rural areas
