1. The incidence of the Cesarean section was 7.4 percent and showed increasing tendency.
2. Among 360 cases, the highest percentage was in the age group of 36 to 40 years of age and the priori-paras had the most.
3.; In the indications for the Cesarean section, the cephalo-pelvic disproportions were the most frequent as 129 (35.8%) cases, and previous Cesarean sections, malpresentations, and placenta previas were in the order of frequency.
4. The multi-paras, who had received the Cesarean section, were 81(22.5%) and, also, the cephalo-pelvic disproportion, as the indication, had the most of 22(27.2%).
