Zusammenfassung:	The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) notes that despite 800 citations in the literature, there are no randomized controlled trials to show that maternal and neonatal outcomes are better with vaginal birth after a prior cesarean delivery (VBAC) than with repeat cesarean delivery.
