- Abstract:
- The cesarean section rate is continuously increasing at our department, from 13.8 to 17.2% between 1999 and 2000. The mother's wishes regarding the mode of delivery weigh increasingly on our obstetric decisions. Patient acceptance of elective cesarean section is high, and the increasing cesarean section rate is influenced by paramedical factors. Obstetrics appears to be developing into a mostly surgical discipline. The effect this has on quality (and costs) remains to be seen.
