in 2015 a protocol for trail of labor after a single cesarean delivery was approved by medical committee of Pescara Hospital. A database from outpatient clinic evaluated all women after 34 weeks' gestation with a previous cesarean delivery. Patients with a specific medical indication for cesarean delivery were skipped, whilst the others were recruited within repetitive elective cesarean delivery or trial of labor based on maternal request. Patients were couselled on the opportunity of having a mechanical induction/ rupture of membranes and subsequent oxytocin infusion if needed due to prolonged gestation (above 41 weeks plus 3 days) or medical indication to delivery (i.e. gestational diabetes, hypertension, SGA, etc.)
