The use of oxytocin after a previous Caesarean section — a review and report on a series

Abstract

We briefly present our experience with trial labour in the presence of a Caesarean section scar and review some of the literature on the management of such patients.

Elective section after two sections—where's the evidence?

“…(1981) laid down their unsupported criteria for allowing a trial of scar, their first being that the patient should have only one scar, Flamm et al . (1984) felt that more than one previous caesarean section was a contraindication to a trial of labour but produced no supporting evidence, Bider et al . (1990) stated that: ‘We do not allow patients with two previous caesarean sections to deliver vaginally’, but had to admit that this policy was quite arbitrary.…”
