As far as we know, the first caesarian was performed in 320 BC.

It's possible that the procedure was used before then, but we'll never know because it was either not recorded or the records may have been lost to time.


In 320 BC, a woman called Durdha, who was the mother of Bindusara (the emperor of the Maurya Empire), accidentally swallowed poison. Knowing she was pregnant with the heir to the empire, a man called Chanakya, who was a teacher and advisor, decided that Durdhara should be cut open so that the heir to the empire could possibly be saved. So Durdhara's womb was cut open and Bindusara was born by caesarian as his mother was dying of poisoning. Bindusara later became the emperor of the Maurya Empire.
