The origins of the Cesarian section date back to the Classical era, and possible even earlier. Ancient India, the Hebrews, the Grecks and the Romans were all familiar with post-mortem Cesarian section. The operation marked time during the Middle Ages. The name "Cesarian section" was first used to designate this operation during the Renaissance period, when it was first carried out in live women. However, until the middle of XIX th century, a Cesarian remained a last chance option which was cautioned against by most obstetricians. It was only after the advent of the "surgical golden tripod" that the Cesarian was gradually rehabilitated through the work of Poro, Kherer and Sanger and the German School. In the XIXth century, segmental incision became the norm and fetal indications for a Cesarian emerged.
剖宫产的起源可追溯到古典时代，甚至可能更早。古印度人、希伯来人、希腊人和罗马人都熟知死后剖宫产。在中世纪，这项手术发展停滞。“剖宫产”这个名称在文艺复兴时期首次用于指代这项手术，当时首次在产妇活体上实施。然而，直到19世纪中叶，剖宫产仍是最后的选择，大多数产科医生对此持谨慎态度。直到“外科黄金三角”出现后，剖宫产才通过波罗、克勒尔和桑格以及德国学派的工作逐渐得到认可。在19世纪，分段切口成为常规，剖宫产的胎儿指征也出现了。
