Based on the data of a questionnaire this study was designed to follow the obstetrical and gynecological history of 269 women who were delivered at our hospital by Caesarean section during 1960-1969. The Caesarean section group was compared with a control group of 229 women who were delivered spontaneously during the same period. Patients with cesarean sections had less children and more often they had been afraid of further deliveries. In patients with vaginal deliveries there was a significant higher incidence of descensus and prolapse uteri and more often a therapy because of premalignant or malignant diseases of the cervix had to be performed. However, there was no significant difference in the frequency of hysterectomies in both groups. The main indication for hysterectomy in the vaginal delivery group was prolapse and descensus, and in the Caesarean section group fibromyoma of the uterus. Except one case of uterine rupture the rate of complications in subsequent pregnancies was similar for both groups. Compared to the control group a higher rate of maternal morbidity due to Caesarean section could not be proved.
