The reason for the higher incidence of the cesarean. section comparing with the data reported by others are postulated that the total delivery cases treated at the department appear less than other clinic.
25 Incidence of cesarean section in total appears no appreciable annual increase in number. However, incidence of cesarean section for various causes excluding toxemia of the pregnancy in late pregnancy, especially eclampsia is observed in recent year.

6) The decrease of the incidence of cesarean section for the toxemia of pregnancy in late pregnancy is observed in recent year, on the contrary, an appreciable increase of cesarean section for breech presentation, post-maturity and elderly primigravida are noticeable.
7) In considering the technique of the cesarean section, 81.9% were performed by classical cesarean section, 17.1%, by the lower uterine segment incision.
