The article is devoted to the issue of vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean section, considers the state of the problem in the world, provides considerations for some features of labor in these cases and their impact on the decision of the doctor. The objective: is to investigate the features of vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean section. Materials and methods. The features of labor of 46 patients with previous cesarean section (group I), 30 nulliparous (group II) and 30 multiparous (group III) was analyzed. The duration of the first period of labor, the duration of the latent phase, the duration of the second period of labor, as well as the frequency of major obstetric complications were studied. Results. It is demonstrated, that the average duration of the first period of labor and the latent phase of this period after the previous cesarean section are close to the first labor. In contrast, in women who give birth vaginally after a previous cesarean section, the processes of shortening and smoothing of the cervix occur in parallel, as is typical for second labor. Also, these women are more prone to slowing down the strength and intensity of contractions, the dynamics of the opening of the cervix than nulliparous and multiparous without history of cesarean section. No differences in the time of rupture of membranes, the duration of the second period of labor and the frequency of other obstetric complications was not detected. Conclusions. 1. The vaginal delivery after previous cesarean section has certain physiological features that should be considered when assessing the effectiveness of labor, namely – the duration of the first period of childbirth is corresponding to the first labor, and the sequence of changes in the cervix (smoothing, opening) – to recurrent labor. Such births are more often characterized by a slowdown in the rate of opening of the cervix. 2. The frequency of major obstetric complications (meconium impurities in amniotic fluid, placental abruption, hypotonic haemorrhage) by vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean section is not greater than in other vaginal deliveries.

Aim: To analyze neonatal and obstetric outcomes in second-pregnancy patients with 1 prior cesarean section.Materials and methods: This study is a cross-sectional observational study. We analyzed 306 medical records of patients treated at the Dr. Rafael A. Calderón Guardia Hospital (HCG), from January 1st 2006 to December 31st of 2007. Maternal variables associated to prenatal control were age and obstetrical indication of the previous cesarean delivery. Variables associated to delivery were gestational age, type of delivery, obstetric complications, and length of hospital stay. The neonatal variables were weight at birth, 5 minute Apgar score, neonatal complications, need for neonatal resuscitation or newborn hospitalization and length of hospital stay.Results: 59, 1% of the patients with 1 prior cesarean section had successful vaginal delivery. The percentage of maternal complications was significantly higher for those who underwent a cesarean section during labor.Uterine rupture occurred in 1,3% of the cases and no maternal or neonatal deaths were found as a consequence of such complication. The percentage of neonatal complications was similar for both groups. The need for neonatal resuscitation was significantly higher in the group that underwent an elective caesarean delivery.Conclusion: Our results show that at the HCG from January 1st 2006 to December 31st of 2007, a vaginal delivery in second-pregnancy patients with 1 prior caesarean delivery appears to be safe. The percentage of successful vaginal deliveries, obstetric complications and uterine rupture were similar to those reported in international literature.

Introduction: Cesarean section is a surgical procedure performed to deliver fetus through abdominal route. Increasing rate of cesarean section worldwide is an alarming concern for public health and obstetricians due to increase in financial burden and risk to health of the mother in comparison to vaginal delivery. The aim of the study was to find the prevalence of cesarean section and its most common indication in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was done in a tertiary care hospital, from July 2016 to June 2018 after taking ethical clearance from institutional review board. Convenience sampling was done to reach the sample size. Data was collected and entry was done in microsoft excel, point estimate at 95% CI was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data and analysis was done. Results: Out of total deliveries conducted, 862 (36.8%) were CS deliveries, 1477 (63.1%) were vaginal deliveries, and 12 (0.51%) were instrumental deliveries. Prevalence of CS is 862 (36.8%) at 95% CI (34.82%-38.78%). Mean age±S.D of delivering mother was found to be 26.1±0.25 years. Primi cesarean section was more than repeat cesarean section. Most common indication of cesarean section was fetal distress 243 (28%) followed by previous cesarean section 165 (18%), non-progress of labour 106 (12%), oligohydramnios 59 (7%), malpresentation 59 (7%), cephalo pelvic disorders 52 (6.5%), and hypertensive disorder in pregnancy 33 (4%). Conclusions: Prevalence of cesarean section in a tertiary care hospital is high compared to WHO data. The most common indication of cesarean section are fetal distress and previous cesarean section.

The objective: Analysis of pregnancy, delivery and the condition of newborns in women with uterus scar after previous Cesarean section. Materials and methods. Observations and retrospective analysis of individual maps of pregnant women, birth record and condition of newborns in 180 women with uterus scar after previous Cesarean section from 2014-2019. Results. It was found that women in I group had no history of miscarriage, and in II group this indicator was 6.7%. We were determined that the threat of early pregnancy was observed twice often in II group as in I group. Failure uterus scar during pregnancy was diagnosing in 21.1% of women of I group against 18.9% of women of II group, as well as during childbirth in 10% of women of II group against none of women of I group. In addition, 76.7% of women of I group were born by vaginal delivery against 24.4% of women of II group. In addition, 10% of newborns in women of I group on the Apgar scale were rated 6-7 points against 65.5% in a state of varying degrees of hypoxia in women of II group. Conclusion. Pregnancy and childbirth in women with uterus scar after previous Cesarean section were accompanying by complications of fetal and neonatal disorders. More pronounced changes were observing during pregnancy, delivery and changes in the condition of newborns in women of II group against with women of I group, which can be explaining by better pre-pregnancy preparation of women of I group and better monitoring during pregnancy. Keywords: сesarean section, pre-pregnancy preparation of women, the condition of newborns.
