Cesarean section: border risks and safety

Abstract

The literature review reflects the controversial global approaches to the delivery of women with caesarean section in history. Presents modern information about the epidemiology of delivery by cesarean section in the world. The complexity of the classification of women requiring delivery by cesarean section and analysis of its outcomes is justified. The debatable question of assessing the integrity of the uterine scar after cesarean section is underlined. Attention is focused on con-troversial issues of choice of the method of delivery in women with a caesarean section in histo-ry. Proposed to consider information on the risks to mother and fetus attempts the vaginal-tion of labor in women with a history of caesarean section.

Keywords:cesarean section, trial of labour after сaesarean, Robson classification, uterine scar after cesarean section
