[Trial of labor after previous cesarean section]. / Probni porodaj nakon ranijeg carskog reza.

Elective repeat cesarean section continues to remain the standard to care at GYK and OBST. Department in Sarajevo. This paper is a study of 216 patients with previous cesarean section who requested and were allowed a trial of labor. One hundred fifty-six (72%) achieved successful vaginal delivery with no maternal or fetal mortality or significant morbidity. Review of the USA literature indicates similar results in other independent studies. Continued accumulation of cases showing the efficacy of post-cesarean section trial of labor should encourage a reassessment of the continuing practice of elective repeat cesarean section.
