Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of our study is to investigate whether the use of obstetric gel shortens the first and second stage of labor and exerts a protective effect on the lower genital tract in women undergoing a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC).


Clinical Trial Description

Recent literature shows that birth injury is associated with postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction (pelvic organ prolapse and fecal and urinary incontinence). Prolonged labor, namely during the 2nd stage, is one of the main obstetric risk factors responsible for anal sphincter rupture and fecal incontinence. In addition, it is associated with increased maternal and neonatal morbidities including increased risk of lower genital tract lacerations. In an effort to shorten labor and decrease lower genital tract trauma many techniques have been investigated. ;
