Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) has been historically studied to be a standard and a safe procedure with good successful results. AIMS: This study was conducted to determine changes in pattern of VBAC by the same author over a period of 10 years. RESULTS: Data for 1 year between 2005-2006 and 2014-2015 were compared, and successful VBAC was found to be 74.46% in 2005-2006 period compared to only 34.42% in 2014-2015. Neonatal mortality and maternal morbidity were, however, much higher 10 years ago. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that better diagnostic techniques, awareness of patients and medico legal fear have led to safer health of mother and child and lesser incidence of VBAC over the last 10 years.
