Caesarean section is a surgical procedure by which a child is born through an incision of the abdominal wall and uterus. As with all other operations birth, and this is particularly important to emphasize in Cesarean section, there should be reasons (indications) for its performance as the surgery and the period after the procedure carries more risks than normal, natural, vaginal birth in a healthy pregnant woman and a healthy child. Looking at history, it reveals three basic periods of Caesarean section. In the first period, Cesarean section was performed on a dying or a dead pregnant woman with the aim of giving birth to a live newborns. In the second period of Cesarean section operations were for the first time performed on a live pregnant woman, while in the third period Cesarean section was performed by introducing new techniques. Today, many women choose Cesarean section, although sometimes there are no indications for it because they believe that such an operation is less painful than a vaginal delivery. but C-section is maj or surgery that carries its own risks (it is even a 10 times greater risk for a mother during Caesarean section, than from a vaginal brth). The work will describe indications for operative completion of delivery that may be absolute or relative. Absolute indications include narrow pelvis level IV, uterine tumors or tumors in the birth canal that interfere with the passage of the child, while the relative indications include narrowed pelvis of the third degree, placenta previa, placental abruption, eclampsia, abnormal position and posture of the child, dystocia, previous cesarean cut, serious illness mother, primary elective Cesarean section, and post-mortem Caesarean section. A nurse plays an important role in the preparation of a pregnant woman for Caesarean section and in her care after the procedure. The most important role is to identify and prevent the development of complications and to provide help with recovery. The work will describe nurses interventions in the recognition of conditions that require completion of the operation and the physical and mental preparation of the patient. Whe paper will present statistics on the operative child delivery in the General Hospital '' Dr. Josip Benčević'' in Slavonski Brod from 2008. to 2013.
