| Popis: | A total of 120 Nigerian women at term pregnancy with one previous caesarean delivery were studied between June 1988 and May 1993. Elective caesarean section was performed in 3 (2.5%). Vaginal delivery was achieved in 101 (86.5%) of those allowed a trial of labour. Intrapartum caesarean section was done in 16 (13.7%) cases. Rupture of the uterus occurred in 3 cases (2.6%) with perinatal loss of 2 babies. There was no maternal mortality. There was no significant correlation between vaginal delivery and birth weight, gestational age or initial indication for the primary caesarean section. It is concluded that trial of labour is safe after a previous caesarean section in selected patients. |
