Abstract: LSCS is the most common surgical procedure conducted in the obstetric department. The cesarean section rate is increasing steadily, and many research scientists are finding the reasons for it. From the review, it was noticed that based on the setting of the study prevalence of LSCS and its indications get changed. This situation developed curiosity among investigators about what could be the prevalence and the reasons for LSCS in the clinical area where we practice. This curiosity made them take the topic for investigation. Aim: The primary purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence and indications of Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) in maternity hospitals in Pune, Maharashtra. Objectives: to assess the number of vaginal and LSC deliveries; to find out the indication for LSCS; to assess the selected maternal obstetric characteristics; to find out the association between the indications with the frequency of LSCS; to find out the association between the maternal obstetric characteristics with the frequency of LSCS. Methodology: Descriptive exploratory survey was performed at the local government maternity hospital. Analysis: Data entered in MS- Excel sheets and analyzed for frequency and percentage. SPSS software was used for inferential statistics. Results: The total number of women delivered 194, out of vaginal deliveries were 53.60% and Lower Segment Caesareans Section (LSCS) deliveries were 45.87%. Among these emergency caesareans were 62.22% and 37.7% planned caesareans. The study findings revealed, the most common indicator for LSCS was previous LSCS 28 (82%), Indications of LSCS and frequency of LSCS have significant association .000 < p. Conclusion: Prevalence of LSCS is higher than that of the WHO recommendation. The study findings revealed some of the indicators for LSCS are preventable such as previous LSCS, Anxiety (Maternal request for LSCS). Preventive strategies such as antenatal counseling individualized (respectful) maternity care by nurses, and motivation to obstetricians to follow VBAC practice, may help to reduce the prevalence of LSCS.
