A summary of 100 vaginal deliveries in the Rotunda Hospital following previous caesarean section.

THESE notes concern the labours of IOO women between the ages of 19 and 45 years (average 32 years) who had been previously delivered by Caesarean section either in this hospital or elsewhere. A commentary sums up our present views on the use of primary Caesarean section and the problem of whether a repeat Caesarean or a trial labour should be chosen as the method of delivery in a subsequent pregnancy. The IOO cases are consecutive and a random sample.
