VBAC after abdominal keyhole surgery

Has anyone had experience of VBAC after abdominal keyhole surgery? I had an emergency c-section that healed wonderfully with no complications. When my baby was 4.5 months I had to have emergency abdominal surgery (unrelated to c-section) but one of the incisions went through my c-section scar. However, it was only about 1/3 of the scar that was opened up.
Has anyone had any experiences like this? I think I won't be able to have a VBAC.

You can have a VBA2C so I wouldn’t automatically assume you won’t be able to!

Was it just the external scar it went through? It’s the scar on your uterus that’s the worry, so I wouldn’t think it would be a problem

Also NICE guidelines support up to vba4c so you should be fine anyways
