When the procedure is needed -- when the mother or baby is in distress or other factors make a vaginal delivery hazardous -- it can be a lifesaver. But only about 5 percent of C-sections are true emergencies, estimates George Macones, M.D., chairman of the depart*ment of obstetrics and gynecology at the Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, in Missouri. Around 3 percent are completely elective, meaning there's no medical reason whatsoever, but the vast majority of C-sections actually fall into a gray zone: the baby looks big, mom is past her due date, labor isn't progressing well.
The high rate is pretty much an American issue: the latest statistics (reported in the New England Medical Journal) are that the Cesarean delivery rate is this country is greater than 30 percent. This means that over 1.2 million births a year are performed with abdominal surgery. Compare this to the rate of 15 percent recommended by the World Health Organization. WHO haS found that Cesarean delivery rates, which exceed 15 percent “offer no population health benefits.”
...
15 percent of current in-patient surgeries nationwide are Cesarean deliveries. This means that they may be exhausting hospital, surgical, or and nursing services and as a result increase the waiting time and nursing coverage for other needed procedures. For every 5 percent increase in U.S. C-section rates we can expect 14 to 32 more maternal deaths and $750 million to $1.7 billion in health-care expenditures.
