Effective and safe method of labor induction in women with previous caesarian section

Introduction: Numerous factors are known to increase the risk of a uterine rupture (UR) but even in high-risk subgroups, incidence is low. A previous Cesarean section (CS) has shown to be the strongest risk factors for UR, and increased at least two-fold when labor is induced. Women are allowed to deliver vaginally after one previous CS, regardless if labor starts spontaneously or is induced. An important question is whether the method of induction is of importance for UR, and if so, which method is the most effective and safe.
