Fun fact/nagging to details: You'd never see any caesarean section like that, actually. Due to how the uterine muscles structure that is shaped like a long, winding tube (think slinkie), cutting it vertically would cause a severely weak spot that can endanger the whole organ, if not future gestation.

Actually, sometimes cesareans are done that way (up the river, not across the stream) but only if in emergencies, if the kid has a few issues, or placenta previa [[[1]]]. Odds are, the complications that would lead to that sort of cesarean would usually lead to a hysterectomy or sterility.

There's several grades of placenta previa, and the most dangerous one being 100% blockage on uterus opening. In the case there's still no contraction (assuming the baby is old enough to not be severely premature), normal caesarean section can still be performed. But yes, in cases that the mother has began contraction and any part of the baby has breached the placenta, the vertical incision, followed by partial or total hysterectomy are the best way to save both lives. OLD woman (yes, old as in the past) and in 3rd world countries where they didn't control their gestation progress still may exhibit this kind of scar from time to time, but as per modern medical standard vertical incision in the lower stomach still limited to several operations, like exploratory laparotomy for ruptured appendicitis or cases of ureter stones.

Oh, okay. Didn't really know that, then again, I ain't no doctor but its always wonderful to learn something new.
