Multiple repeat caesarean sections on one patient.
A case history is presented of a patient with 8 consecutive caesarean sections over 1965--1973. Total hysterectomy was performed during the last section because of thinned uterine wall, marginal placenta praevia and heavy bleeding. The aspects of repeated caesarean sections are discussed in the light of the present case.
