Cesarean Section? Cesearean is a common misspelling of cesarean.
When a woman cannot deliver her baby vaginally, a healthcare provider may perform a cesarean section (also known as a C-section). This is a common surgical procedure that involves making an incision in the abdomen (stomach) and uterus, and then removing the baby through the opening. Although this procedure is typically safe, complications can occur, such as infections, minor bleeding, and hemorrhoids. It can take four to six weeks to recover from a cesarean section.
