Repeat CS timing with 2+ CSs

Women with multiple prior low-transverse CSs show a trend toward increased risk of rupture compared with a single prior CS. While some have advocated planned repeat CS at 39 weeks as in patients with a SINGLE previous cesarean, planned repeat CD at 38 weeks is likely to be associated with a lower risk of uterine rupture. Yet, there is no consensus on best practice. In this session, we will summarize a new AJOG publication (Jan 2022) that raises some interesting and clinically meaningful data regarding the timing of repeat CS in women with 2+ prior cesareans (Shinar et al. Timing of cesarean delivery in women with 2+ previous cesarean deliveries. AJOG; Jan 2022).
