Summary

Caesarean section (CS) constitutes a large proportion of the total surgical volume in low-income countries. This rate comes with challenges including surgical complications, shortage of beds, and consequently long waiting time for operations and high costs. These have led to the adoption of ERAS in developed countries in a bid to save costs by reducing hospital length of stay without compromising the health of the mother and her baby.
