The aim of the present study is to evaluate success rates of trial of labor after caesarean section (TOLAC), as well as maternal and neonatal outcomes after the establishment of the recent guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A retrospective study was performed at two large departments in Germany from January 2008 to January 2018. Patients undergoing TOLAC were divided into two groups. Group I (958 patients) was constituted before the establishment of the current guidelines, and Group II (588 patients) after the establishment of the guidelines. A subgroup analysis was performed to compare neonatal outcomes after successful TOLAC and operative vaginal delivery with those after failed TOLAC and secondary CD.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The success rate of vaginal births after cesarean section (VBAC) fell from 66.4% in Group I to 55.8% in Group II (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The median duration of the second stage of labor was statistically significantly longer in Group II than in Group I (79.3\u2009\u00b1\u200961.9 vs. 69.3\u2009\u00b1\u200958.2\u2009min) for patients without previous vaginal birth. The incidence of operative vaginal delivery decreased from Group I to Group II (9.6% vs. 6.8%). The incidence of third- and fourth-degree perineal lacerations, blood loss and emergency CD were similar in the two groups. Concerning the neonatal outcome, our groups did not differ significantly in regard of rates of umbilical artery cord pH\u2009&lt;\u20097.1 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.108), the 5-min Apgar scores below 7 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.224) and intubation (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.547). However, the transfer rates to the neonatal care unit were significantly higher in Group II than in Group I (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
