تحريض المخاض بالأوكسيتوسين لدى سوابق قيصرية سفلية واحدة

This research was conducted at AL-ASSAD University Hospital in lattakia between 1/4/2008-1/4/2009 and included 114 pregnant women with one previous low–segment cesarean section experiencing labor. It was divided into three groups: 38 pregnant women had a spontaneous labor, 38 had a stimulation of labor with oxcytocine, 38 had a induction of labor with oxcytiocine., In group (1), the rate of vaginal delivery was 76.3%, and the rate of cesarean section 23.7%. In group (2), the rate of vaginal delivery was 84.2%, and the rate of cesarean section 15.8%. In group (3), the rate of vaginal delivery was 81.5%, and the rate of cesarean section 18.5% . Two cases of scare rupture occurred, one after stimulation of labor with oxcytiocine, and the other after induction of labor with oxcytiocine. In conclusion, labor induction with oxcytiocine in one previous low-segment cesarean section had decreased the rate of repeated cesarean without increasing maternal or fetal morbidity.
