DESCRIPTION:

Cesarean Section Day marks the anniversary of the first successful Caesarean Section, performed in America by Dr. Jesse Bennett on January 14, 1794. The first procedure, done in the patient's home in Virginia, was without equipment or antiseptics. The official note in his medical journal is:

"January 14, 1794, J.B. on E.B. Up February 15, cured March 1."

Shortly thereafter, he performed the same operation on his wife, saving her life and that of their only child, a daughter.


Before the Cesarean Section or C-section, babies that couldn't be born naturally either died in childbirth or, if operationally extracted, killed the mother to save the child. The C-section permitted the safe removal of the child without killing the mother.
