Seven cases of ultrasound diagnosis of velamentous insertion (VCI) of the umbilical cord at singleton pregnancies on 21–34 weeks of gestation are presented. The ultrasound picture two of the VIC types is presented: fixed in 5 cases and free in 2 cases. In one case the VCI was in the lower third of the uterus and the wound has been diagnosed the vasa previa. In other cases, the VCI was in middle third of the uterus. In all cases delivery was at 37–39.1 weeks of gestation. In 4 cases Cesarean sections were performed. In two of the VCI cases elective Ce sarean sections were performed for the following indications: previous Cesarean section and vasa previa. VCI can reliably be detected prenatally by gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasound. For fixed VCI located in the middle-upper of the uterus, no change in standard obstetrical management seems to be required.

Background: Previous Cesarean section (CS) is one of the important causes of CS in subsequent pregnancies. Moreover, repeated cesarean sections increase maternal as well as perinatal morbidity and mortality. We conducted this study to find out outcome of pregnancies in women who had a history of previous CS.Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients of previous caesarean section for either maternal or fetal indications. The duration of study was 3 years. Total 215 patients were included in this study on the basis of a predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The indications, maternal and neonatal outcome were studied from medical records of the patients. Statistical analysis was done using SSPE 22.0 software.Results: Out of 215 studied cases majority of the patients belonged to age group of 21-30 years (75.35%) and were 2nd gravida (61.86%). 164 (76.28%) patients attended ANC OPD at least for 3 times during pregnancy. 73 (33.95%) patients had Hb of less than 10 gms while blood transfusion was required to be given in 11 (5.12%) patients. cesarean section was required in 172 (80%) patients out of which 166 (77.21%) patients had undergone emergency LSCS while in 6 (2.79%) patients elective LSCS was done. Scar tenderness was the most common indication for repeat cesarean section. There was no maternal mortality in any patients while there was 1 still birth and 1 neonatal death.Conclusions: Previous cesarean section is one of the important causes of CS in subsequent pregnancies hence decision of doing CS, especially primigravida, must be taken in accordance with strict guidelines and the practice of “cesarean section on demand” should be discouraged.

Objective: To analyze trends of CSs and evaluating them according to Robson’s Ten Groups Classification System (TGCS) at a leading government tertiary care hospital of South Punjab, Pakistan. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Nishtar Medical University Hospital, Multan Pakistan, from October 2019 to March 2020.The study population included a total of 167 women who underwent CS in the hospital during the specified study period. For each case, we collected data regarding maternal characteristics and pregnancy-related information. The dependent variable was Robson classification group. Results: Overall, mean age was 26.53+5.1 years. Majority of the women, 116 (69.5%) belonged to urban areas of residence, 74 (44.3%) gestational aged between 37-42 years while 108 (64.7%) had history of cesarean section. Most of the patients, 85 (50.9%) turned out to be from TGCS Group-10. Group-5 and Group-1 were the 2nd and 3rd most common group, accounted for 24 (14.4%) and 19 (11.4%) cases respectively. Previous cesarean section (20.4%) and fetal distress (19.8%) were found to be most common indications leading to cesarean section. Conclusion: As per Robson’s Ten-Group Classification, Group-10 and Group-5 were found to be the most contributing among deliveries done. Previous cesarean section and fetal distress were the most common indications of cesarean section. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.2.3823 How to cite this:Parveen R, Khakwani M, Naz A, Bhatti R.

Objectives: Our aim was to study the prevalence of isthmocele in cases with previous cesarean section scar presented to El Shatby maternity university hospital and its association with gynecological complications. Material and Methods: After approval of the ethics committee of Alexandria faculty of medicine, a sample of 300 patients delivered by cesarean section since 6 months or more presented by one or more of the following symptoms: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) dysmenorrhea, secondary infertility, and lower abdominal pain were selected from the gynecology clinic of El Shatby maternity university hospital. All patients were subjected to history taking, clinical, and gynecological examination. Post-menstrual 2D transvaginal ultrasonography was done. Where the niche or isthmocele was seen as triangular or dome- shaped echo-free space. Data were collected and entered to the computer using Statistical Package for the Social Science program for statistical analysis. Results: Niche was found in 44 cases. Most of them were symptomatic. Duration from the last (CS) was statistically significant. Symptoms were related to number of previous cesarean sections. Conclusion: The incidence of post-cesarean section niche in El Shatby Maternity hospital was 14.67%. Most common symptoms were AUB and dyspareunia.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the safety and integrity of scar at repeat cesarean section, in patients with previous one cesarean section performed at different settings. Study design A reterospective study in a tertiary care obstetric unit over a period of one year (2006). Material and methods All patients with previous one cesarean section, undergoing emergency and elective cesarean sections were enrolled at our institution. The variables noted were age, parity, residential area, location of previous cesarean section and associated complaints, e.g uterine contractions, vaginal leaking/ bleeding and comorbid medical disorders. Outcome measures Operative findings in terms of thinning of scar, dehiscence or rupture were recorded. The effects of skill level of surgeon and set-up of previous cesarean section were analyzed. Results Two hundred and seventy cesarean sections were performed for different indications in patients with previous one cesarean section over a period of one year. Out of all patients, extreme thinning of scar was noted in 36 (13.3%) patients. Seven patients(2.6%) had scar dehiscence. Only 3 (42.8%) patients with scar dehiscence had associated complaint of scar tenderness, while 22 (61%)of 36 cases of scar thinning were having scar tenderness. All 7 cases of scar dehiscence had their previous cesarean sections at teaching hospitals. No patient underwent hysterectomy and all patients with scar dehiscence had successful repair. Conclusion The study concludes relatively inadequate scar thickness rate but at the same time relatively acceptable scar dehiscence rate. Thus it will still be safe to subject the patients to trial of labor after meticulous scrutinization and individualization. At the same time adequate surgical training of doctors (trainees and community doctors) through different formats is recommended.
