To the Editors:

Cesarean section has a long and interesting history. There are several explanations as to the origin of the operation.1 I am interested in how the name of the operation is spelled in languages other than English. Following are 16 examples: Czech, cisarsky rez; Dutch, keizersnede; Finnish, keisarileikkaus; French, cesarienne; German, Kaiserschnitt; Greek, kesariki tomi; Hebrew, metuah keseri; Hungarian, csaszar metszes; Icelandic, keisaraskurdur; Italian, taglio cesareo; Norwegian, keisersnitt;
