I don't know how long ago "back then" was, but I do know that in recent years they've changed the angle of incision, to going with the grain of the muscle instead of across...the old way took longer to heal, & left a weak spot along the scar that made subsequent normal delivery too risky...I know the new method is at least 13 years old, when our 2nd was delivered c-section as a footling breech.
