Abstract Purpose To examine whether the presence of peritoneal adhesions at the second cesarean delivery (CD), attributable to the first CD, are associated with maternal intra-operative organ injury and adverse neonatal outcomes. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted, comparing severe maternal intra-operative organ injury and adverse neonatal outcomes, between women with and without peritoneal adhesions. All women with two CDs during the follow-up period were included. Women with adhesions diagnosed during the first CD, history of other abdominal or pelvic surgery, pelvic infection or pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, uterine Mullerian anomalies and newborns with known chromosomal or structural abnormalities were excluded, resulting in 7925 women. Intra-operative peritoneal organ injury was defined as a composite of bladder injury, ureteral injury, small bowel injury or hysterectomy. The examined adverse neonatal outcomes were low 1 and 5 min Apgar scores, intrapartum death (IPD) and postpartum death (PPD). Multivariate logistic regression was performed. Results Peritoneal adhesions at the second CD, attributable to the first CD were diagnosed in 32.6% of patients (n = 2581). The presence of peritoneal adhesions was not found to be independently associated with intra-operative organ injury nor with 5 min Apgar scores, IPD and PPD. Second CDs complicated with adhesions were found to be associated with low (
