Popis:	It is commonly accepted that cesarean section is the preferred mode of delivery of triplets. The present study was performed to evaluate maternal complications and neonatal outcome in 21 women operated on by a transverse lower segment incision as compared to 8 parturients who underwent surgery by a longitudinal uterine incision. There was no significant difference in mean gestational age at delivery, mean weight of the newborns, Apgar scores, perinatal mortality rates, or intraoperative or postpartum hemorrhage incidence between the two groups. Thus, a transverse lower segment uterine incision should be used in triplet deliveries to increase the chances of a normal vaginal delivery in the future.
