Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section (VBAC) at Yasothon Hospital: A12 Year Descriptive and Retrospective Analytic Study

Abstract

Fifty two cases of vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC) were retrospectively analyzed during october 1, 1995 - september 30, 2007.  Comparisons were made with 92 singleton pregnant women (non-VBAC) as a control group, employing descriptive statistics, t-test and chi-square.  There was no any serious maternal complication except a case of neonatal death.  Yet no strong indication against or for VBAC emerged. However, once the outcomes were positive VBAC showed more significant advantages on less blood loss and length of postpartum maternal and baby hospital stay.  Further study is needed in order to develop effective medical indications.
