Frequency of Successful Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section in Women With a Previous Uterine Scar: A Cross-Sectional Study

VBAC is a safe and effective option for women with a prior CS, with a high success rate; however, VBAC failure was found to be an independent predictor of both fetal and maternal complications. Our findings suggest the importance of a personalized approach to VBAC assessment and counselling to optimize outcomes for women undergoing trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC).

Abstract

VBAC is a safe and effective option for women with a prior CS, with a high success rate; however, VBAC failure was found to be an independent predictor of both fetal and maternal complications. Our findings suggest the importance of a personalized approach to VBAC assessment and counselling to optimize outcomes for women undergoing trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC).
