AB Each  year  in  the  United  States,  approximately  one  third  of  more  than  4  million  neonates  are  born  by  cesarean  delivery.  Indeed,  the  operation  is  the  most  commonly  performed  major  surgery  in  this  country  in  women  aged  18  to  44  years  (Boyle,  2012).  It  follows  that  the  procedure  is  one  of  the  most  often  used  in  modern  obstetrics.  Until  recently,  the  term  "cesarean  section"  was  used  to  describe  operative  abdominal  delivery,  but  "cesarean  delivery"  is  considered  more  accurate  for  reasons  discussed  subsequently.
