ABSTRACT
Indications for caesarean section had been studied in a 2-year period and the incidences were compared to that of the same 15 years back. Though there are more incidences of caesarean section, still perinatal death is a major concern to all. The study included a total of 291 perinatal deaths of which there were 208 early neonatal deaths and 83 stillbirths over a period of 2 years from January, 1990 to December, 1991. Caesarean section is being increasingly performed for foetal interest, but this study reveals that perinatal mortality is still high though cesarean section rate has increased in recent times.
