Arch Gynecol Obstet

August 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Erlangen University Hospital, Universitätsstr. 21-23, 91054, Erlangen, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how a previous caesarean section impacts the health outcomes of women who try to deliver vaginally after surgery, known as TOLAC.
  • Results show that women with a history of caesarean sections faced significantly more adverse outcomes compared to those with no such history, including higher rates of complications and abnormal fetal conditions.
  • The findings suggest that while TOLAC can be considered for women with low-risk pregnancies, it carries increased risks, especially for those who have never had a vaginal delivery.

Although women undergoing multiple CDs is very unusual in Spain, our center serves pregnant women with a history of three or more previous CDs with some frequency. We aimed to assess whether women who undergo multiple CDs (≥4) have more risks than those who undergo a third CD.
