Outcome of post caesarian pregnancy in a tertiary care hospital in Udaipur, Rajasthan

Background The prevalence of caesarean section has increased due to a variety of factors such as patient choice and relative safety of the procedure. However in many cases the risk involved in LSCS is still present.

Methods The present study was designed to evaluate the outcome in cases where VBAC or TOLAC were used for the second pregnancy in a previous LSCS case. The study employed a sample of 60 subjects who were equally divided in two groups who were subjected to elective cesarian and TOLAC.

Results The results showed that TOLAC did have a better outcome as compared to repeat cesarian in context of maternal and foetal factors.

Conclusions The practice of TOLAC must be tried as an alternative and can be a viable option for uncomplicated post cesarian deliveries.
