Parto vaginal después de cesárea ¿Es posible?: Una revisión de la literatura
Resumen
Colombia al igual que el resto de los países de medianos y altos ingresos presenta cada vez tasas más altas de cesáreas. A pesar de que el parto vaginal representa beneficios tanto para la madre como para el neonato, la cesárea es un procedimiento indispensable para proteger la vida de la madre y/o el feto en circunstancias médicas usualmente definidas. Históricamente, el parto vaginal después de cesárea (PVDC) no ha sido considerado una opción debido al riesgo de rotura uterina y posteriores complicaciones potencialmente fatales. Desde 1980 ha incrementado el interés por el PVDC teniendo cada vez más datos sobre la seguridad de realizar dicho procedimiento. El presente artículo busca describir los beneficios maternos y fetales del parto frente a la cesárea, además resumir la evidencia y las guías internacionales que existen sobre la seguridad del trabajo de parto, inducción del trabajo de parto y complicaciones asociadas al mismo.
