Abstract

Objectives: to study indication of LSCS in our setting using modified Robson’s criteria. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out at Dept of Obstetrics and Gynecology, in our institute, for 1000 consecutive caesarean deliveries. Data was compiled from departmental records. Conclusion: History of previous LSCS is most common indication for LSCS. Refusal for VBAC has lead to higher LSCS rate. Counseling for VBAC during antenatal period and during labour may help to reduce LSCS rate in these patients. Induction of labour is the major associating factor for high LSCS rate. Allowing spontaneous labour and judicial selection of patients for induction may help to reduce LSCS rate. Result: The largest contribution to total CS rate was by group 5(34%) (All single cephalic pregnancy, >37 wks gestation, previous scar) followed by group 2 (20.4%) (Nullipara, single cephalic, >37 weeks, induced or CS before labour).

Keywords: LSCS, Robson’s Criteria.
