surgical delivery

Baby via incision

Surgical delivery is the birth of a baby through a surgical procedure rather than vaginal birth—typically a cesarean section, where the infant is extracted through an incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus.

The term appears in medical contexts and birth records: The complications necessitated a surgical delivery.
