暂无{Abstract}: The spectrum of indications for primary caesarean section changes with advancing parity. As parity advances more cesarean section are done for maternal rather than fetal indications. The objective of this study was to determine the indications and complications of caesarean section in multiparous women with history of previous vaginal delivery. This cross-sectional descriptive observational study was conducted in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital from January 2019 to June 2019 among 100 purposively selected multiparous women who underwent primary caesarean section. A well-designed, semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data by face-to-face interview, clinical examinations and laboratory investigations. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS 20.0 version. Majority (74.0%) of the women in this study were in the age group 21-30 years with mean age of 26.3±5.76 years. Majority of the patients were of second gravida (42.0%) followed by third gravida (33.0%). The highest gravida in this study was 6th. Most of the patients were of para 1(44.0%). Highest para in this study was para 5. The most common indication of caesarean section in this study was foetal distress (26.0%). The next common indications were cephalo-pelvic disproportion (22.0%), antepartum haemorrhage (13.0%), mal-presentaion or mal-position (16.0%). Other causes were PROM (8.0%), prolonged labour (6.0%), cord prolapse (2.0%), post-dated pregnancy (4.0%), severe pre-eclampsia (2.0%) and secondary subfertility (1.0%). There was no case of maternal mortality in this study but 15 mothers suffered from various post-operative complications like wound infection (4.0%), UTI (4.0%), puerperal pyrexia (3.0%), postpartum haemorrhage (3.0%) and paralytic ileus (1.0%). Among the babies delivered 97 were live births. Among the 97 live births 11(11.34%) were preterm babies. Among the babies delivered majority (85.0%) was with good APGAR score (7-10). In conclusion it can say that a multiparous women in labour requires the same attention as that of primigravida. A parous women needs good obstetric care to improve maternal and neonatal outcome and still keeping caesarean section to a lower rate.
