1Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, PMB 01129 Enugu, Nigeria. benozumba@hotmail.com
Abstract:
Maternal deaths from cesarean sections in Nigeria are exceptionally high and result from avoidable causes such as hemorrhagic shock, sepsis and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Increased involvement of specialists in the care and improved intra and post-operative management of cases are advocated to reduce the high maternal mortality rate.
