Abstract (English)  :

Retro, 3 VBAC groups compared spontaneous labor (SL), those who received oxytocin (OA) and those who received misoprostol and oxytocin (M+O) There were 100 in the M+O, 115 in SL and 167 in OA. There were no uterine ruptures and 3 uterine dehiscences none of which20were in the M+O group. Success was not statistically different between the groups. Conclusion: in contrast to published reports and ACOG’s Committee Opinion 228, misoprostol is not assoc. with an increased risk of uterine rupture. Misoprostol in VBAC patients is a relatively safe method for cervical ripening and appears as successful as spontaneous labor or oxytocin in vaginal delivery.
