Abstract

Objective: To analyse the success of vaginal delivery after caesarean birth [VBAC]. Methods: A retrospective analysis of number of cases delivered vaginally after previous caeserean delivery at our hospital was done from January 2012 to December 2012. The analysis was done regarding the parameters affecting the success of VBAC. Factors like age of mother, gestational period, and indication for previous caesarean section, mode of delivery, birth weight of the baby and maternal complications encountered were analysed. Results: A total of twenty patients delivered vaginally after previous caesarean section. It was observed that successful VBAC was possible in young age group with spontaneous labour at term who underwent caesarean section in previous delivery for a non recurrent indication. Conclusion: Careful selection of the patients increases the success rate of VBAC.
