Nazmie Ceni | Astrit Bimbashi

Abstract: Because of the increased risk of uterine rupture and other morbidities, instances of trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) have decreased in number each year. Nevertheless, under careful assessment and advanced medical care, TOLAC is still a safe option for delivery. The aim of this study is determine the factors that impact the success rate for TOLAC. This is a prospective study conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital "Ko?o Gliozheni", Tirana, Albania, in the period 2015-2019. We collected data from patients receiving TOLAC as an option after CS, with a total of 76 patients enrolled. In our study, we found a high success rate and safety of TOLAC/VBAC is reasonable. Under intensive care and observation, trying vaginal delivery after previous CS is still a feasible choice. Nevertheless, the body weight of the baby has been shown to be a factor that can influence the success rate.
