The objective of this, study is to analyse the factors affecting the rising trend of Caesarean Delivery and to critically derive at measures that can be taken to reduce this rising trend. METHODS This is a retrospective study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at SVMCH and RC, Ariyur, Pondicherry, of 1337 patients who underwent Caesarean Delivery between 2011 and 2013. RESULTS In our study, the incidence of Caesarean Delivery was 26.28%, 1337 cases out of total 5880 deliveries. Out of these, Primary Caesarean Delivery was 44.58% [596 cases] and Previous Caesarean Delivery was 55.42% [741 cases]. The incidence of elective CS was 11.29% and emergency CS was 88.63%. CONCLUSIONS By a well-defined protocol, promoting institutional deliveries, proper monitoring of maternal and foetal parameters, encouraging deliveries by trial of VBAC and by proper counselling of the patients an optimal CS rate can be achieved.
