This 3D medical animation shows the common indications for a cesarean delivery, including dystocia, placenta previa, fetal distress and multiple births. A cesarean section (c-section) surgery to deliver a baby in frank breech (feet first) position is also shown. During the procedure, the surgeon (usually an obstetrician/gynecologist, i.e. ob/gyn) makes an incision in the abdominal wall and uterus in order to deliver the baby. The animation also includes information on what to expect before and after the surgery.

6700 babies were delivered in Milano hospital in 2007. 40% of them were delivered with the help of Cesarean section. Such a high rate of C-sections is explained by a considerable number of pathological pregnancies. Warning: this child birth video contains details of surgical intervention, which is not for the faint-hearted.
