[Repeat cesarean section--an analysis of 2,024 cesarean sections].

Based on the data of 2024 Caesarean sections which had been performed at our hospital during 1970-1981 indications, maternal complications and foetal outcome in 385 cases of repeat cesarean deliveries were analysed. In spite of the increasing overall Caesarean section rate, the rate of repeat section remained constant during the observed period. Repeat Caesarean section was more often performed because of maternal than of foetal reasons. Compared to primary Caesarean section, maternal and foetal prognosis proved to be more favourable in repeated procedures. This should be considered in deciding whether repeat Caesarean section should be resorted to or whether normal delivery should be attempted.
