Cases of maternal death related to the Caesarean section are rare.
In order to analyze the causes of the medical disputes by maternal death after the Caesarean section, the author introduced a civil judicial precedent of Korea, a criminal judicial precedent of Japan, and 8cases of the medical disputes of the
Osaka

These 10 cases are largely divided into the one related toanesthesia, and the other. The latter includes tetanus infections, heart failure, hemorrhagic (hypovolemic) shock by total placenta previa, amniotic fluid embolism, DIC(disseminated
intravascular
coagulation), and uncertain causes of death with improper postoperative care.
