Caesarean section
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
A Caesarean section is a medical procedure in which an incision is made through a mother's abdomen to deliver a baby, sometimes in an urgent emergency situation.
Beverly Crusher referred to the spaceborne entity named Junior's birth as a Caesarean section. The baby was too weak to break through its dead mother's shell on its own, so using a narrow ship's phaser beam as a scalpel, an incision was made into the dead creature, just big enough for Junior to break free on its own.
