Abstract
Summary: An audit of labour following Caesarean section was carried out over a 70-month-period to assess our management of labour following Caesarean section and to support the hospital quality assurance review progress for obstetric care: 419 patients with 1 previous Caesarean section were given a trial of labour: 314 (75%) women had a vaginal delivery and 105 (25%) had a repeat Caesarean section. The highest failure rate was observed in women whose previous indication for Caesarean section was cephalopelvic disproportion. There were 6 (1.4%) cases of scar dehiscence and 4 (1%) of uterine rupture. Vaginal delivery following Caesarean section is a viable cost-effective, safe procedure in a high quality labour and delivery unit in a developing country.
