**3. Classical uterine incision**

Classical uterine incision is type of uterine incision in which the incision is made in the contractile part of the uterus so that the inaccessible lower segment can be bypassed. This is incision is usually deferred because it is susceptible to rupture with succeeding pregnancies. Most of the indications arise from difficulty in exposing the lower segment. In the remaining occasions, fetal indications such as transverse lie, and conjoined fetus dictate the incision [3].
