“…The rates of other complications including hysterectomy, transfusion, major postpartum infection, thromboembolism, uterine dehiscence, and pelvic hematoma were not significantly different between the 2 groups. 50 From these data, ACOG concluded that women with 1 prior low transverse CD and otherwise appropriate for twin vaginal delivery can be considered candidates for TOLAC and not at significantly higher risk for uterine rupture.…”

“…Ford et al, in a nationwide (USA) retrospective study of twins with previous caesarean comparing 4,705 women who underwent an ERCD to 1,850 women undergoing TOL, found a significantly higher rate of UR (0.9 vs 0.1%) in the trial group [51]. In another earlier study, there were no significant differences in maternal or neonatal morbidity or mortality rates in TOL vs no TOL groups in twin gestation after a previous caesarean [52].…”

The safety of women undergoing childbirth with prior caesarean delivery is a major public health concern. Most of the earlier studies focused on the success rate of vaginal birth after caesarean section; later focus shifted to maternal and neonatal safety, and presently, each factor that would influence the outcome of trial of labour is being considered on both the success and the safety of vaginal birth following caesarean delivery. The contribution of induction of labour to uterine rupture is not entirely clear. Although large multi-center randomised trials comparing planned elective repeat caesarean delivery vs vaginal delivery following prior caesarean delivery are required for conclusive evidence; current evidence suggests that, in properly selected women, vaginal birth can be safely achieved if adequate facilities to monitor the foetus and immediate caesarean can be performed. Unbiased evidence-based information should be given to patients in making decisions about mode of delivery based on individual characteristics. The purpose of this review is to understand each factor that would influence the success and safety of vaginal birth after caesarean delivery.

“…Moreover, several studies comparing patients with twin gestations and a prior cesarean section who undergo TOLAC to those who elect to have a repeat cesarean section suggested that TOLAC may be a safe alternative to elective repeat cesarean in those patients [5,6,7,11,12,14,15,16]. Differences that have been noted were those related to morbidity associated with a cesarean section; i.e.…”
