A retrospective study was performed on 131 women who had trial of scar in their first pregnancies following a primary caesarean section. The vaginal delivery rate was 81.7% and this rate was not significantly influenced by the indication for the previous caesarean section. It is advocated that patients for trial of scar should be selected on individual merits rather than on the nature of the indication for previous caesarean section.
