Predictors of Scar Dehiscence in Patients With Previous Caesarean Section

Overview

In recent decades, the percentage of Cesarean section deliveries has dramatically increased in most countries. Concomitantly, the rates of vaginal birth after Cesarean have decreased steadily. The pregnant women with previous Cesarean section face a difficult choice for their next delivery between a trial of labor after Cesarean or repeat caesarean section delivery. The performance of multiple Cesarean section exposes women to greater risks of complications; furthermore, the risk of complications increases with each subsequent Cesarean section. In fact, women with previous Cesarean section are more likely to experience short and long-term maternal complications in future pregnancies, or a trial of labor after Cesarean, with the risk of \[uterine dehiscence, uterine rupture, genitourinary tract damage, hemorrhage and hysterectomy, abnormal placentation (placenta previa and placenta accreta) and difficulties during surgery
