Ethical Language Guidance
Gender History
Plural form carrying the same gendered historical erasure as 'cesarean'—the male attribution to Julius Caesar masks female practitioners' foundational work in obstetrics.
Inclusive Usage
Use with same awareness as 'cesarean.' The plural form doesn't change the underlying attribution issue.
Inclusive Alternatives
["cesarean sections","cesarean deliveries","surgical deliveries"]
Empowerment Note
Women surgeons and obstetricians have been central to cesarean safety and technique refinement since modern anesthesia; the male-named procedure obscures their contributions.
