Is it permissible for foreign (non-mahram) men to examine women’s 'awrah (private parts) in operating rooms for Cesarean sections, and is this considered a legal necessity, especially with the prevalence of Cesarean sections and the mixing in operating rooms?

The default rule is that it is impermissible for men to look at the 'awrah (intimate parts) of women, and for a woman to be treated by a male doctor, except out of necessity, such as when there is no woman available to treat her. Looking and touching are permissible when there is a need, such as for medical treatment, even if it involves the private parts. It is permissible for a man to treat a woman and vice-versa, provided there is a mahram (unmarriageable kin), husband, or trustworthy woman present, and on condition that there is no woman who can perform the treatment. If the presence of men in delivery rooms is due to necessity and the absence of women, then there is no sin, and it should be limited to the extent of the need. However, if it is possible to dispense with this by having a woman, even a non-Muslim one, then it is not permissible. One must be cautious of suspicious mixing between men and women, as it is a cause of corruption.
