Abstract
There is a rising trend in repeat caesarean section rates in the present day obstetrics.

Various factors like maternal age, parity, prior obstetric outcome, mode of delivery, Inter-delivery interval, bishops score and neonatal weight were analyzed. Maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality were also analyzed. Results: There were total of 147 cases with one previous transverse caesarean section in the study, total number of VBAC was 116(78.9%) and failed trial of scar were 31(21.1%). Prior history of vaginal delivery before and after caesarean and bishops score of more than 7 were important predictors for success of VBAC. Average birth weight was about 3-3.5kg. There were 2 cases of perinatal mortality and no cases of maternal mortality. Conclusion: Success rate of VBAC was 78.9% in the present study. Trial of vaginal delivery must be encouraged in all patients with one previous low-transverse caesarean section after full discussion and disclosure of the possible complications, provided no obststetric contraindications exist.
