| Description | In the United States, cesarean section was the most common surgical operation in 2006 (1) and about 31.8% of approximately 4.3 million infants born in 2007 were delivered by cesarean section (2). The rates of cesarean section increased dramatically from an annual rate of 5.5% in 1970 to 24.1% in 1986, stabilized between 1986 and 1989, then gradually declined to 21% in 1996, and finally steadily rose again to 31.8% in 2007 (2–5). Between 1996 and 2007, the overall cesarean section rate increased for all pregnant women, regardless of the maternal age, race, and the state of residence (5). The overall rate of cesarean section increased or decreased with the fall or rise in the rate of vaginal birth after previous cesarean section (VBAC), respectively. The overall rate of cesarean section increased by 53% between 1996 and 2007 while the rate of VBAC dramatically declined during the same period (5,6).
