Emergency cesarean section (ECS) is a life-saving intervention in obstetrics, crucial for mitigating maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. This article reviews evidence-based indications for ECS, focusing on fetal compromise, placental abnormalities, labor dystocia, umbilical cord emergencies, uterine rupture, and acute maternal conditions. Timely recognition and intervention are emphasized to optimize outcomes. Clinical considerations, including multidisciplinary teamwork, ethical challenges, and postoperative care, are discussed to guide practitioners in high-stakes scenarios.
