It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life or health at risk, although in recent times it has been also performed upon request for childbirths that could otherwise have been natural. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that the rate of Caesarean sections should not exceed 15% in any country. This programme includes narrated surgical videos of the procedure as well as interactive case exercises and a brief self-assessment. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=652375 This multimedia-based module is part of a series designed for medical students to assist in preparation for clinical examinations in gynaecology.
