We report a case of recurrent upper segment uterine rupture in a 31-year-old woman at 32+5/40 weeks of gestation. She had fundal uterine rupture 3 years ago in her first pregnancy at 40 weeks of gestation. There was no history of uterine malformation or prior uterine surgery. However, we noted that she had had three laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis treatment. She was scheduled to have an elective repeat caesarean section at 34+6/40 weeks of gestation in the index pregnancy. Unfortunately, she presented at 32+5/40 weeks with features of acute abdomen and signs of fetal distress. She had a category 1 caesarean section and was found to have fundal uterine rupture at the same site. She had a smooth uneventful recovery following a timely intervention and discharged home on day 5 postoperatively in a good condition with her baby girl.

History Of

A 44-year-old nulliparous woman was transferred to a tertiary obstetric hospital for investigation of acute onset abdominal pain. She was at gestation of 32 weeks and 2 days with a history of previous laparoscopic fundal myomectomy. An initial bedside ultrasound demonstrated oligohydramnios. Following an episode of increased pain early the following morning, a formal ultrasound diagnosed a uterine rupture with the fetal arm extending through a uterine rent. An uncomplicated classical caesarean section was performed and the neonate was delivered in good condition but with a bruised and oedematous right arm. The neonate was transferred to the Special Care Nursery for neonatal care. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged home three days following delivery. This is an unusual presentation of uterine rupture following myomectomy where the fetal arm had protruded through the uterine wall.

Method: The rate of caesarean section was only slightly higher than recommended by the WHO. Most of caesarean sections were emergency caesarean sections. Data on all live births were collected, including type of delivery, and indication was recorded if cesarean section was done. Total, primary, & repeat cesarean section rates were calculated for each year. The cesarean rate was calculated as the number of cesarean births divided by total live births. The rate for each indication was calculated annually as the number of cesarean births performed for each indication per 1,000 live births.   Result: These two groups constituted nearly 87.7% of total C-Sections. Only 3.4% of the cases belonged to the elderly age group of above 35 years. Maximum no. of caesarean sections was in multiparous females (54.3%).  Out of 550 caesarean deliveries 76.7% were from urban area. Also, result showed that only 68.7% were booked for antenatal care. Conclusion: The rate of cesarean section has increased with time with primary and repeat cesareans both showing an increase. In the primary CS rate, indications like labor arrest disorders & fetal distress show an increase more than the objective indications like malpresentation. In repeat CS, history of 02 or more previous sections & scar tenderness contributed more than the fetal distress. Keywords: Indication, Caesarean

To evaluate fetal Biophysical Profile as an effective technique for the assessment of fetal condition and to improve fetal outcome by early detection of fetal hypoxia. Design: Co relational study: Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out for a period of one year from Oct 2004-Oct 2005 at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Fatima memorial hospital Lahore. Patients and Methods: All patientswith history of sluggish fetal movements and clinical suspicion of IUGR, were underwent BPP from 32-42weeks. 100 patients were selected and their BPP score was recorded and were followed till delivery. Those who went into spontaneous labor and who were induced monitored during labor and at any sign of fetal distress immediate caesarean section performed. APGAR score of newborn was noted at one and five minutes and those having poor APGAR score were resuscitated and were followed till one week after delivery. APGAR score was compared with BPP score. Results: During this study 100 BPP were performed. 34patients were primigravidas and 66 were multigravidas. Among 100 patients 73had a BPP score of 9-10/10, 21 patients had a score of 7-8/10 and 6 patients had 4-6/10.In 2 patients with 4/10score emergency caesarean section led to the delivery of neonates with APGAR score of 8 at 5 minutes. Majority of patients with normal BPS of 8-9/10 had good APGAR score of 7- 8/10.Only 8 patients having BPP of 9-10/10 had poor APGAR score 6/10 or <6/10. Conclusion: The fetal BPP appears to be an effective technique for assessment of fetal condition.

A Prospective Study

Introduction: Contrary to the WHO recommended caesarean section (CS) rate of 15%, there is an alarming trend of increasing caesarean section rates. An important reason for this is repeat caesarean section (RCS). Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is one of the methods of reducing CS rates in women with history of previous CS. This study was done with the aim to see the maternal and fetal outcome among parturient with history of single previous caesarean section and to determine the rate of VBAC at Lumbini Medical College, Nepal. Methods: This is a prospective study done for a period of ten months. Seventy parturient fulfilling inclusion criteria of term pregnancy with single live fetus and history of one Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) were enrolled in the study. Patients meeting the criteria for VBAC were given trial of labour and others were taken for elective repeat CS. This cohort was analyzed further, with respect to age, parity, period of gestation, mode of delivery, indication for CS, maternal and fetal complications and outcomes. Results: VBAC was successful in 27.14% of patients (n=19) while the rest 51 (72.85%) underwent RCS . Indications for RCS was mainly scar tenderness 7 (13.7%), fetal distress 6 (11.7%), non progress of labour 6 (11.7%), meconium stained liquor 6 (11.7%) and post-dated pregnancy 6 (11.7%). Maternal morbidity was comparable in women undergoing RCS or VBAC. There was one still birth and one early neonatal death in each group due to complications of meconium aspiration. Conclusion: Patients with previous CS are at high risk of RCS. If trial of labor is allowed under careful patient selection and supervision, the rate of vaginal delivery after caesarean section can be increased safely. As there is no added perinatal morbidity and mortality in cases of VBAC as compared to RCS, VBAC shows the right way forward to decrease the rate of caesarean section.

Caesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancy (CSEP) is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy. We present a 30 year female presented with 8 weeks of amenorrhea. Her obstetric history was G3P2D2. Her B HCG levels were >10,000 IU/L. She had history of previous 2 lower uterine segment Caesarean section. She was referred to our hospital in stage of severe hypovolemic shock related to vaginal bleeding. USG findings were suggestive of death of fetus of about 6 weeks 5 days. Gestational -sac at lower uterine segment Caesarean section scar level. Radiological diagnosis was? Scar pregnancy. On histopathology diagnosed as Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy with area of rupture in anterolateral wall of lower uterine segment and upper cervix. The endometrium was unremarkable. We are presenting this case for its rarity, clinical radiological and histopathological findings. Key words: Scar ectopic pregnancy, Uterine rupture, Gestation, Caesarean section.

Background: The rates of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes have increased significantly in the last decade. Patients with repeated caesarean deliveries also have a greater risk of placenta previa, placenta accrete, uterine rupture, bowel and bladder injury, and unplanned hysterectomy.Methods: This retrospective study was performed between 01 April 2017 to 31 March 2021, at a private hospital to know about the surgical difficulties and maternal and neonatal complications encountered in cases of repeated LSCS. The outcome of 1028 women admitted with a history of previous LSCS was studied.Results: The 613 patients were given a trial of labour. 40.07% of patients delivered normally. The most common indication for repeat LSCS was CPD in 20.94% and fetal distress 20.12%. The most common complication observed was adhesion in 37.65%. Scar dehiscence in 8.92 %, scar rupture in 0.64%, uterine atony in 4.8%, placenta previa in 3.57%, placenta accrete in 0.64%, injury to the bladder was seen in 0.97%, caesarean hysterectomy was done in only 2 cases and gaped wound was found in 1.13% of cases. 19.15% of neonates were admitted to NICU. Apgar score <7 at 5 minutes in 14.77%. premature neonates were 8.44% RDS was found in 7.62%, birth asphyxia was found in 2.92% cases and neonatal sepsis was found in 1.13%.Conclusions: The dramatic increase in caesarean section rates over the past three decades has been associated with a corresponding increase in maternal morbidity but there a continuous decrease in neonatal morbidity and mortality rates because of advances in neonatal medicine.

Objective An increasing trend of uterine rupture (UR) after laparoscopic surgery of the uterus (LSU) has been observed. Although the overall incidence is extremely low, UR may have catastrophic outcomes. Therefore, investigation of its potential risk factors is important. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical data of 10 women who developed UR after LSU performed at our hospital from October 2003 to October 2016 and conducted a literature review. Results All cases of UR occurred during the third trimester of pregnancy. The surgeries contributing to UR were laparoscopic myomectomy, adhesion decomposition, and salpingectomy, resulting in unfavorable outcomes especially for the fetus. Diathermy was routinely used for hemostasis, and multilayer suturing was not adequately performed in many cases. The posterior wall was the most common site of UR in most cases. Silent rupture with unremarkable symptoms was not rare. Similar risk factors were identified in the literature review. Conclusions Excessive use of energy equipment and the lack of multilayer suturing were the most common characteristics of UR after LSU. A history of LSU should always be considered a risk factor for UR.

Uterine rupture is a life-threatening emergency in obstetrics carrying an increased risk of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. Often, uterus ruptures during labour; however, scarred uterus may rupture before the onset of contractions in the late third trimester. Uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus occurs extremely rare. Various aetiology has been described in literature from anomalous uterus, uterine manoeuvres, and abnormal placentation to congenital exposure to Diethylstilbestrol.  Maternal outcome depends greatly on the early diagnosis, prompt management and availability of emergency expert care and blood transfusion. However, the diagnosis is not always obvious with its varied non-specific presentation. Most common presentation of rupture uterus is acute abdomen, which is often mistaken for other causes like acute pancreatitis, appendicitis, cholecystitis, especially in the early pregnancy. Authors report a case of grand multipara at 19 weeks of gestation presented as acute abdomen. She was referred as incomplete abortion in need of blood transfusion, later diagnosed to be rupture of uterus. She had abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding for 14hours duration prior to admission. On further inquiry, history of blunt trauma to abdomen, the day prior was revealed.

Uterine rupture is a deadly obstetrical emergency endangering the life of both mother and fetus. In Bangladesh, majority of deliveries arc attended by unskilled traditional birth attendant and maternal mortality is still quite high. It is rare Ln developed country but unfortunately it is common in a developing country like Bangladesh. We report a case history of a patient age 32yrs from Daudkandi, Comilla admitted with H/0 previous two rupture uterus and repair with no living issue. We did caesarean section at her 31+ weeks of pregnancy when she developed Jabour pain. A baby of 1.4 kg was delivered. During cesarean section, focal rupture was noted in previous scar of rupture. Unfortunately the baby expired in neonatal ICU after 36 hours.
