Abstract
Background: Cesarean delivery (CD) drives escalating C-section rates, resulting in scarred uteri for subsequent pregnancies. Managing women with prior CD scars presents challenges due to increased risks for mothers and infants. Options include planned vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) or elective repeat C-section. Opting for VBAC is advisable for scarred uteri to lower the repeat CD risk. Nevertheless, repeat C-sections impose limitations on consecutive deliveries and elevate complications such as adhesions, placenta issues, postpartum hemorrhaging, and peripartum hysterectomy.
