A lower (uterine) segment caesarean section (LSCS) is the most commonly used type of caesarean section.[1] Most commonly, a baby is delivered by making a transverse incision in the lower uterine segment, above the attachment of the urinary bladder to the uterus. This type of incision results in less blood loss and is easier to repair than other types of caesarean sections.
