OBJECTIVE: Trial of labor after cesarean section (TOLAC) is an option for women with previous cesarean section. However, few women choose this option because of safety concerns. We evaluate the safety and risks associated with TOLAC and the success rate of vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: We reviewed all patients with a history of previous cesarean section that underwent elective repeat cesarean section (ERCS) or TOLAC in a regional teaching hospital from Nov, 2013 to May, 2018...

INTRODUCTION: Despite calls for increased vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), <14% of candidates have VBAC. Requirements for documentation of scar type, and prohibitions on induction or augmentation of labor are not supported by evidence but may be widespread. The purpose of this study was to document midwives' perceptions of barriers to labor after cesarean (LAC) and their effects on midwives' ability to accommodate patient desires for LAC. METHODS: Midwives certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB) were surveyed in 2019...

BACKGROUND: Induction of labor in women with previous cesarean section is associated by the fear of scar rupture, resulting in high rates of repeat scheduled cesarean section. Mechanical methods are being advocated as a safe method. We present our experience of vaginal birth rates and safety profile with single-balloon Foley's catheter for induction of labor in women with previous one cesarean section. METHODS: We studied 96 women admitted in Women and Children Hospital JIPMER, India, with a previous cesarean section at term having unfavorable cervix and undergoing induction of labor...

BACKGROUND: The rate of cesarean deliveries is steadily growing worldwide as a result of increasing maternal age at first delivery. Ensuring optimal recovery after surgery, specifically the development of a functionally competent uterine scar to facilitate vaginal birth after a cesarean delivery (VBAC), is one of the challenges in modern obstetrics. Extracellular microvesicles (EMVs) are secreted by multiple cell types and act as mediators of intercellular interaction during tissue reparation...

OBJECTIVES: Worldwide, the overall cesarean section is rising. Trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) is an overall safe option with an immediate impact on neonatal and maternal short- and long-term health. Since the use of prostaglandins in cervical ripening is associated with an increased risk of uterine rupture, mechanical methods as balloon catheters or osmotic dilators have been suggested for cervical ripening prior to induction of labour. Here we are analyzing and comparing the VBAC rate, as well as maternal and fetal outcome in cervical ripening prior to TOLAC...

REVIEW
Jouko Pirhonen, Risto Erkkola
The clinical management of intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) in women with a previous cesarean delivery presents a dilemma for the obstetrician. With the current reluctance of obstetricians to perform vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) and the paucity of data to counsel women regarding maternal risks, management options are limited by physician's clinical experience and biases. In the setting of fetal demise, maternal safety becomes the primary concern. Medicolegal pressures may prevent physicians from attempting a trial of labor in this situation...

BACKGROUND: Taiwan has a high national caesarean rate coupled with a low vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) rate. Studies suggest that women do not receive sufficient information about birth choices after caesarean in Taiwan and shared decision making (SDM) is not an expectation. This pilot study aimed to test the feasibility of using a birth choices decision aid to improve women's opportunity for engagement in SDM about birth after cesarean. METHODS: A two-phase sequential mixed methods pilot study was conducted in a regional hospital in northern Taiwan...

BACKGROUND: Trial of labor after a previous cesarean delivery (TOLAC) has reduced the rate of cesarean sections (CS). Nevertheless, the widespread use of TOLAC has been limited by an increase in adverse outcomes, the most serious one being the risk of symptomatic uterine rupture, which is possibly associated with oxytocin. In this meta-analysis, we explored the risk association between oxytocin use and uterine rupture in TOLAC. METHODS: Multiple electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) were searched for cross-sectional studies reporting on TOLAC, oxytocin and uterine rupture, which were published between January 1986 and October 2019...

BACKGROUND: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), defined as a blood loss of 500 mL or more after birth, is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all women giving birth should receive a prophylactic uterotonic agent. Despite the routine administration of a uterotonic agent for prevention, PPH remains a common complication causing one-quarter of all maternal deaths globally. When prevention fails and PPH occurs, further administration of uterotonic agents as 'first-line' treatment is recommended...
