Meaning of trial of scar | Babel Free

Definitions

A labour where a vaginal delivery is attempted in a woman who has had a previous caesarean section.

Examples

“Tradition has taught that a previous classical Caesarean section, more than one scar, previous obstructed labour, and contracted pelvis all provide absolute contraindications to a trial of scar.”

“In a recent UK survey, 95% of consultants responded that they would not allow trial of scar following a classical Caesarean section (Roberts et al 1994).”

“A trial of scar may be justified in a woman with a previous cesarean section who is currently on HAART, has an undetectable virus and spontaneously goes into labor.”
