There are times when a mother may be in labor in an attempt to deliver her baby vaginally, but complications develop, necessitating an emergency c-section. Cesarean sections are fairly quick procedures, usually lasting 10 minutes to remove the baby followed by another half hour of surgical closure once the baby is removed. Incisions are made in the abdomen and uterus to deliver the baby. An example of a c-section related complication is if a c-section is not conducted in a timely manner, leading to maternal or fetal injury.Ī c-section is a surgical procedure that is performed to deliver a baby. Some complications can arise in spite of the best efforts of a patient’s health care team, while there are other people who may experience complications due to negligence. While many people have cesarean sections without any complications, complications do have the potential to arise.

Unscheduled c-sections can occur if a c-section is not planned, but is necessary.

Planned c-sections refer to c-sections that are scheduled for a specific date and time, while emergency c-sections occur within minutes of making the decision to conduct a cesarean section. There are a few common types of c-sections planned c-sections, unscheduled c-sections, and emergency c-sections. When there are risks to the mother or baby, a c-section may be performed.
