ABSTRACT
To study the obstetric outcome of cesarean sections [CS] in relation to the elective or emergency nature of this procedure, a comparative study was conducted on 1426 females whose deliveries were by CS in King Khalid University Hospital [KKUH]. Of the various factors analyzed in relation to the two types of CS, statistically significant associations were found between emergency CS and younger patients, low parity, irregular attendance at antenatal clinics, complications in labor, postoperative morbidity and low Apgar score [<6]. It was concluded that every effort should be directed to effect-planned CS, as determined during the antenatal period, if possible, so as to reduce the various problems associated with emergency CS. The chances are that this approach is unlikely to influence the overall CS rate in either way
