The maternal mortality rate after cesarean section is currently very low, but cesarean section is more hazardous than vaginal delivery by a factor of 2-11. Maternal mortality rates of 0 in large series of cesareans have been achieved in some settings, and this suggests that careful attention to good surgical technique and postoperative care could lower mortality after cesarean even further. Infection is the most common cause of morbidity after cesarean, transfusion being second. A large number of factors modify the risk of infection, the most important being prophylactic antibiotics. There is weak evidence that women are slightly more depressed after cesarean than after vaginal delivery. On average, cesarean sections cost more than vaginal deliveries.
目前剖宫产术后的孕产妇死亡率很低，但剖宫产比阴道分娩的危险性高2至11倍。在某些情况下，大量剖宫产手术的孕产妇死亡率已达到0，这表明认真关注良好的手术技术和术后护理可以进一步降低剖宫产术后的死亡率。感染是剖宫产术后发病的最常见原因，输血次之。大量因素会改变感染风险，其中最重要的是预防性使用抗生素。有微弱证据表明，剖宫产术后的女性比阴道分娩后的女性略易出现抑郁情绪。平均而言，剖宫产的费用高于阴道分娩。
