title: [Cesarean section in a developing country. Profile and perspectives apropos of 21,743 deliveries between 1992 and 1995].
abstract: In three years and six month 21,743 delivered at the Maternity of Dakar University Hospital. Among them there were 2650 cesarean section. The cesarean rate is 16.93% of living birth. The principal indication was foeto-pelvic disproportion (32.5%) especially pelvic problem (27%). There was post operative mortality (1%) (especially hypertension) and morbidity (6%) (especially infection). Neonatal prognosis was also poor with a 10% early neonatal mortality. These findings show the important insufficiency and reflect major problems facing obstetric in Black Africa.
