Abstract: Background: Caesarean section is preferred as an emergency or elective procedure with entirely different entities according to measures taken, facilities and skilled staff and the risk of surgical complications is greater with emergency compared with elective caesarean section. Methods: Present study is a prospective study, with 300 patients to evaluate maternal and foetal outcomes in elective versus emergency caesarean section at our tertiary center. Results: Incidence of caesarean section was 23.5%. Of these, 225 (75%) patients underwent emergency caesarean section while 75 (25%) patients had elective caesarean section. The present study found Intra operative complications in 36 (12%) patients. Out of these 29 (80.5%) were operated as emergency cases and 7 (19.5%) as elective caesareans. Among the complications postpartum haemorrhage was most common problem in 19 patients. Conclusion: The elective caesarean section shows less maternal and perinatal complications as compared to emergency caesarean sections. Increasing incidence of emergency caesarean section can be reduced by encouraging all pregnant females to visit antenatal clinics.
