Caesarean Section

A Caesarean section was a medical procedure in which an incision was made through a mother's abdomen to deliver a baby, sometimes in an urgent emergency situation.

In 2387, Kaycee Horton referred to the spaceborne entity named Junior's birth as a Caesarean section. The baby was too weak to break through its dead mother's shell on its own, so using a narrow ship's phaser beam as a scalpel, an incision was made into the dead creature, just big enough for Junior to break free on its own.

In 2398, Lauren Johansson-Mcleod gave birth to identical twin boys, Andrew "Andy" and Steven "Stevie" Mcleod via Ceasarean Section when she developed dangerously high-blood pressure and placentia previa.

In 2401, Kestra and her boyfriend, Riley Shepard were trapped in a cave on Selik III, when she was injured during an attack. She sustained internal bleeding which required Shepad to perform an Caesarean Section on her. She gave birth to Janna Shepard.
