A cesarean delivery can be done under local or general anesthesia and a future mother may ask which of the two types of anesthesia is the most appropriate ?, the truth is that both have their same risks and neither is better than the other, the only difference is that Each birth is unique and each requires a type of anesthesia.
Nowadays, practicing a C-section is much safer than in the past, however the risk of mortality is still 4 times higher than vaginal delivery. One of the causes that predispose complications in caesarean sections are anesthesia, whatever they are, both offer their advantages and disadvantages, although there is still no study that can indicate which is the most recommended.
Each caesarean section is a different case than the most appropriate anesthesia, but it is convenient to find out which one carries the least risks to the health of the mother and the future baby before practicing the caesarean section. Given the possibility of a higher risk, vaginal delivery should be chosen, caesarean section chosen on a whim, aesthetic issues, etc., it is not recommended, any option that increases a minimum risk for the mother or the baby should be rejected by professionals doctors, whether public or private health. Accepting to perform the caesarean section by explicit request should be prohibited, except in cases where it is really necessary to perform it, surely the statistics of infant or mother mortality would decrease.
