Summary

Cesarean section (CS) rates have increased substantially worldwide and in Egypt, where they now account for the majority of deliveries. Maternal and neonatal outcomes may differ between elective and emergency CS. Emergency cesarean sections are generally associated with higher maternal morbidity, including increased risks of postpartum hemorrhage, infection, blood transfusion, longer operative time, and prolonged hospital stay. Neonatal outcomes following emergency CS may also be less favorable, with higher rates of low Apgar scores, respiratory distress, and NICU admission. However, findings remain inconsistent across studies, highlighting the need for further prospective research to comprehensively compare maternal and fetal outcomes between elective and emergency cesarean deliveries.
