    Most repeated cesarean sections (RCS) are due to relative indications, not absolute ones. Thorough assessment and trial of labor can help reduce the overall cesarean delivery rate.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Context:

    • Repeated cesarean section (RCS) rates are a significant concern in obstetrics.
    • Understanding the indications for RCS is crucial for optimizing maternal and neonatal outcomes.
    • This study examines clinical indications for RCS in a tertiary care setting.

    Purpose:

    • To identify and categorize clinical indications for repeated cesarean section (RCS).
    • To determine if these indications were absolute or relative and assess their justification.
    • To analyze differences in outcomes between absolute and relative indication groups.

    Summary:

    • A cross-sectional study analyzed 641 repeated cesarean sections (RCS) performed between 1996-1997.
    • Indications for previous cesarean sections were absolute in 25.9% and relative in 74.1%.

  • Indications for RCS were predominantly relative (70.7%), with elective reasons, cephalopelvic disproportion, preeclampsia, and fetal distress being most common.

    • Impact:

    • Relative indications for RCS were more common, suggesting potential for reduction in cesarean rates.
    • Trial of labor was more frequent in the absolute indications group (65.4%) compared to the relative group (36.9%).
    • Neonates with absolute indications for RCS experienced higher rates of low Apgar scores and NICU admission.
