Like any surgery but: Cesarean during labor carries slightly higher risks of infection and bleeding versus a scheduled cesarean. Also if it is a first abdominal surgery then surgical risks are lower. For repeat cesarean sections risks related to scar tissue, injury to bladder, injury to uterus, placenta abnormally attached - are all increased. Cesarean done for prematurity is also higher risk.
