Abstract
For women with one prior cesarean delivery, the risk of uterine rupture is higher among those whose labor is induced than among those with repeated cesarean delivery without labor. Labor induced with a prostaglandin confers the highest risk.

Among pregnant women who have had a cesarean section, major maternal complications are almost twice as likely among those whose deliveries are managed with a trial of labor as among those who undergo an elective second cesAREan section.

Labor after previous cesarean delivery has a 75% success rate, with a risk of uterine rupture of less than 1%, and with careful supervision, trial of labor eliminates the need for a large proportion of repeat cesAREan operations.

Carefully controlled studies of the risks and benefits of misoprostol are necessary before its widespread use in this setting, as it may increase the risk of uterine rupture in the patient with a scarred uterus.

Induction of labor, epidural anesthesia, failure to progress, and abnormal fetal heart rate pattern are all associated with failure of a trial of labor and uterine rupture, which significantly elevates the risks for mother and child in future deliveries.

When misoprostol is used in women with previous cesareans, there is a high frequency of disruption of prior uterine incisions.

Women with a history of either 1 or 2 prior cesarean deliveries who elected to undergo a trial of labor during a 12-year period at the Brigham and Women's Hospital have an almost 5-fold greater risk of uterine rupture.

Linked birth certificate-hospital abstract files may become an excellent source of data for epidemiologic and health care studies; however, further training of medical record personnel and standardization of coding are needed to improve the quality of computerized data on obstetric events.

Uterine rupture occurs at a low rate in women with and without prior cesarean delivery and among those who attempt VBAC, but risk of rupture is increased among women with prior cedars and among women who attemptVBAC.

Most of these cases should not have been eligible for compensation in a traditional tort-based system because the applicable standard of care was not breached, and meeting the published standard for perinatal care failed to prevent these devastating neurologic injuries.
