Abstract:
Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of vaginal delivery with scarred uterus after cesarean section.Methods Sixty two parturients after cesarean section undergoing trial vaginal delivery in our department from October 2016 to October 2017 were enrolled in study (study group);60 primiparous women admitted at the same period were taken as the control group.The successful rate of vaginal delivery,the duration of labor and the incidence of postpartum complications were analyzed.The postpartum depression was assessed with Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale 6 weeks after delivery and compared between two groups.Results The vaginal delivery was successful in 49 parturients of each group with a successful rate of 79.0% (49/62) and 81.7% (49/60) respectively (x2=0.13,P=0.71).The first and the second stages of labor in the study group were (364± 105)min and (54±31)min,respectively,which were shorter than those of the control group [(388±93)min and (63± 18)min,t=2.325,P=0.03;t=2.145,P=0.04].The incidence rates of postpartum hemorrhage,infection and urinary retention were 3.2% (2/62) and 1.7% (1/60),1.6% (1/62) and 1.7% (1/60),4.8% (3/62) and 3.3% (2/60) in study group and control group,respectively (x2=0.309,0.001 and 0.176,P>0.05).The Apgar scores of the newborns in two groups were 8.7± 2.1 and 8.5± 1.8 (t=1.415,P=0.14) and the postpartum depression scores of the mothers were 13.7±4.3 and 12.4±3.2 (t=1.203,P=0.33),respectively.Conclusion Vaginal delivery can be chosen in parturients with scarred uterus after cesarean section,if preparations are adequate,indications of vaginal delivery are sufficient and the course of labor is closely monitored.
