Popis: The original indication for the section mdash; which may or may not have figured in Caesar's birth—was death of the mother at or close to term, and many centuries were to pass before the procedure could be performed with any expectation of salvaging either mother or child. The safety of the modern section lies not only in improved surgical technique but also in more complete knowledge of indications and timing.
