ABSTRACT: Objective: To improve the practice of cesarean section by
analyzing the cesarean section
according to Robson’s classification. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study carried out at the University
Hospital of Cocody. It covered the Cesarean sections performed during the year
2015 and ranked according to the 10 groups of Robson. Results: The
overall Cesarean section rate in 2015 was 42.8% (3100 cesarean sections for
7229 deliveries). Group 1 was the largest contributor to overall Cesarean
section with a rate of 20.5% followed by Group 3 (18.6%), Group 5 (16.4%) and Group
10 (12.2%), unlike other data
in the literature where groups were in descending order Groups 5, 1, 3. This
difference was driven by medical evacuations and our working conditions. Conclusion: The Cesarean section rate is constantly increasing in our department. Referred
patients played a huge role in the distribution of C-section along the Robson’s 10 groups
classification.
