PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the current literature on vaginal birth after cesarean delivery efficacy and safety. RECENT FINDINGS: There are two major themes in current vaginal birth after cesarean delivery research. The first is continued work on the short-term safety, including maternal events such as uterine rupture and perinatal death. The second theme focuses on identifying predictors for success and failure. SUMMARY: Current information suggests that the rate of major maternal and neonatal complications with vaginal birth after cesarean delivery is low, and this option should be offered to women with a single prior low transverse cesarean. Future research should focus on an evaluation of both short-term and long-term consequences of vaginal birth after cesarean delivery compared with elective repeat cesarean section. |
