Was Gaius Julius Ceaser delivered by Ceaserean Section ?

According to Greek mythology, Appolo Asclepius from his mother's womb. Asclepius is the founder of a famous religious medicine cult.


This is the oldest mention of a Ceaserean operation.Contrary, to popular belief it is not named after Ceaser becaouse historical evidence says his mother lived long enough
to hear about her son's military exploits in Britain. In olden days, mothers who were operated on, did not survive. Some tribes in the Great Lakes area of Africa were aware of such a procedure as noted
by the traveller R.W.Felkin in Uganda. Alchohol was given as an anaesthetic and herbal medicines were used to encourage healing.

The origin of the word is a mystery. Some trace its etymology to the Latin verb 'caedare' which means to cut and the term
'caesone' was applied to infants born post-operation. Until the sixteenth and seventeenth century, it was known as caearean operation. In Jacques Guillimeau's book on midwifery
it was referred to as 'Ceaserean Section'. After then, it was increasingly called as Ceserean section.
