Abstract:

Objective of the study was to monitor the mode of delivery in patients with previous one Caesarean section. This study was carried out at Services hospital on five hundred patients with previous one Caesarean section (CS) over a period of ten months. Out of 500 patients 211 had repeat elective Caesarean section, while 289 were selected for trial of labour. Out of these patients two thirds achieved vaginal delivery (VBAC). The overall Caesarean section rate was 57.6% and VBAC rate was 42.4%. It was thus concluded that repeat Caesarean section could be avoided in well selected patients with low morbidity.
