A cesarean section is a surgical procedure for delivering the baby through an incision in the abdomen and uterus, as an alternative to vaginal delivery.
When is it indicated? It may be considered for medical reasons related to the mother or the baby, either as a scheduled procedure or in response to a situation that arises during labor.
What to expect? It's performed in an operating room under anesthesia and involves a recovery period afterward.
Who performs it? It's performed by an obstetrician-gynecologist. The decision on the mode of delivery is assessed case by case together with your specialist.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
