Caesarean Section Day marks the anniversary of the first successful Caesarean Section, performed in America by Dr. Jesse Bennett January 14, 1794. This first procedure, done in the patients home in Virginia, was without the use of equipment or antiseptics. The official note in his medical journal is:
"Jan. 14, 1794, J.B. on E.B. Up Feb. 15, cured March 1st.”
Shortly there after he would be called upon to perform the same operation on his wife, saving her life and that of their only child, a daughter.
Prior to the Caesarean Section or C-section, babies that couldn’t be born naturally either died in childbirth, or, if operationally extracted, killed the mother in an effort to save the child. The C-section permitted the safe removal of the child without killing the mother.
