It is essential to reanalyze the CS trend and curb the rising menace using a standardized uniform auditing system. This study aimed to analyze and evaluate the trend of CS using Modified Robson\u2019s Ten Group classification system (RTGCS) in a teaching institution in Uttarakhand.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study from October 2022 to March 2023 included 260 women undergoing elective or emergency CS. Data on maternal demographics, obstetrics, labour, and fetal outcomes were recorded. Indications for CS were analyzed using modified RTGCS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The overall CS rate for the study period at our hospital was 31.4%. The major contributors to CS were Group 2 (21.5%), Group 10 (21.5%), and Group 5 (20.7%), while Group 6 and Group 8 contributed 10% and 7.6%, respectively. Group 9 had the least share (1%) in the study population. The two main indications for which CS was performed were prior Lower Section Caesarean Section (LSCS) and fetal distress, contributing to 24.6% and 19.2%, respectively. CS for breech presentation was done in 16% of the total cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Modified RTGCS is an easy and effective method for auditing CS, preventing unnecessary procedures, and improving maternal care. Its implementation is crucial in addressing the increasing prevalence of CS and ensuring better maternal and fetal outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
