Robson’s classification – a way to reduce the number of caesarean sections?

The increasing number of caesarean sections represents a significant health, economic, and psychological problem on a global scale. Robson's classification is a comprehensive approach to regularly analyse every operative abdominal delivery. It appears that particularly promoting the vaginal births after a previous caesarean section and reducing this mode of delivery among primiparas, is one of the ways of stopping the rising trend of caesarean sections. Slovak maternity facilities that have adopted Robson's classification reveal a decrease in the number of these obstetric surgeries.
