parto por cesárea

caesarean

The Spanish phrase 'parto por cesárea' translates to 'caesarean' in English. In medical context, this phrase refers to a surgical operation in which one or more incisions are made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies, or, rarely, to remove a dead fetus. This is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life or health at risk. The phrase 'parto por cesárea' can also be related to the relevant health-related vocabulary in the discussion of childbirth and maternity healthcare.
