Abstract This is a cross-sectional and retrospective study based on the analysis of all medical records of puerperal women assisted at a teaching hospital in the state of Minas Gerais, from January 1 to December 31, 2016. This study aims to estimate the success rate in vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean section, and the factors associated with their outcome. 1,157 medical records were reviewed and, after selection, 215 records of puerperal women submitted to vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean section were analyzed. The rate of vaginal delivery after previous cesarean section was 55.8%. The factors associated with the outcome were mainly absence of complications and/or pathologies during pregnancy, full-term pregnancies, and having had at least one previous vaginal birth. There is a need for studies on the subject, given the recent recommendations, factors to be cleared and still contradictory results regarding vaginal delivery after previous cesarean section.
