Cesarean delivery rates have increased dramatically worldwide. In the United States, cesarean section (CS) rates increased from 5% of all deliveries in 1970 to a high of 31.9% in 2016.Although efforts were made to reduce the number of CS, it failed to achieve the 15% rate recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).Repeat CS is the most significant factor contributing to overall increased CS rates. The primary indication of repeat CS is a prior CS. The trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) is an attempt to reduce CS rates. Several national medical associations have provided practice guidelines for vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC), but these differ across countries.VBAC is relatively safe when compared with repeat CS.However, TOLAC rates have dropped significantly worldwide in recent years.
