Understanding Caesarean Section
A Caesarean Section (C-section) is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the abdomen and uterus. It is performed when vaginal delivery is unsafe or when complications arise that require immediate intervention.
Dr. Sujata Datta is highly experienced in performing both planned and emergency C-sections with the utmost safety and precision.
