Abstract

Controversy still dominates the discussion of the correct method for delivering patients with a previous cesarean section (C/S) scar. Although many have abandoned the slogan of "once a cesarean, always a cesarean", repeat cesareans are still the rule in many institutions. We have abandoned this dogma, and are now advancing to new ideas and are promoting a new protocol. Nineteen post-one cesarean section patients were induced on various indications by means of PGE2 pessaries. Close surveillance revealed no complications and 16 were delivered vaginally. All neonates had good Apgar scores, and all scars were found to be intact upon examination. We recommend cautious use of prostaglandins for selected post-cesarean patients.
