Abstract

Among 3060 cesarean sections, 560 were performed upon 123 women who had individually experienced from 4 to 8 cesarean deliveries. There was only 1 neonatal death and no maternal death. Three uterine ruptures occurred, all in classical section scars. Nine of the 14 eventual cesarean hysterectomies were performed for thin scars which could doubtless have been repaired.
