Review Case ReportsReview of vaginal birth after primary caesarean section without prostaglandin induction and or syntocinon augmentation in labour.
To show the results of vaginal birth after primary caesarean (VBAC) without using prostaglandin for induction and/or syntocinon augmentation are comparable when induction is done with these agents but without the added risks of uterine rupture. ⋯ VBAC can end successfully in a high proportion of cases without the use of prostaglandin or syntocinon for induction of labour and or syntocinon for augmentation in these women because of their associated increased relative risk of uterine rupture.
