Abstract
A 34-year-old primiparous woman underwent an elective primary cesarean deli very. Five days later a hysterectomy had to be performed to save the patien t's life because of generalized peritonitis. Although risks have decreased dramatically with modern obstetric care, awareness of the potential for sev ere complications is mandatory even in cases of elective cesarean delivery.
