      Yes they did! There’s a reason they’re called caesarean sections - the concept has been around for millenia. Now, whether your mother would’ve survived being stitched back together after that is a WHOLE other story, and whether YOU would’ve survived is also a different question, but they were known.

      Julius Caesar was named after the procedure (or rather, his ancestor was), so yeah.
