Also known as a C-section.

The delivery of a fetus by surgical incision through the abdominal wall and uterus. It is named after Julius Caesar because of the belief that he was born this way.

It should be noted that with the development of transporters, Caesarian sections are less common. However, a surgeon should be skilled in the procedure as the use of transporters may not be available or they may cause further complications.
