Cesarean section is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the United States, with nearly 1.3 million cases performed each year. After rising for several decades, the cesarean rate has plateaued at approximately 32% of all deliveries(1). In Peru, the rate has continued increasing from 22.9% in 2011 to 34.8% in 2017(2). The rate is higher in social security hospitals and much more in private hospitals.Downloads
