Abstract Background Umbilical hernias are a frequent and well-known pathology in children or adults. Congenital umbilical hernias are commonly diagnosed in childhood, and in adulthood such a hernia is usually acquired. Umbilical hernia in pregnancy may result in serious obstetric complications including antepartum hemorrhage, intrauterine fetal demise, and preterm labor, particularly if incarcerated. Case presentation We present a rare case of a congenital umbilical hernia in a term pregnancy. The patient was a 34-year-old African (Malawian) woman, living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and on antiretroviral treatment, gravida 4, with three previous vaginal deliveries, and with two babies weighing 4 kg at birth. We performed herniorrhaphy at caesarean section, and at 3 months of follow-up she had no evidence of a recurrent hernia. Conclusion Congenital umbilical hernias are commonly diagnosed in childhood but might first be seen by medical practitioners in adulthood. A patient-centered approach addressing patient complaints, associated risk factors, and possible complications is recommended. Primary repair at caesarean section is a feasible option.

Umbilical hernias large enough to contain a gravid uterus are rare. We report a case of a woman with prolapse of a gravid uterus through a previously repaired umbilical hernia. Our plans for elective surgery with caesarean section and hernia repair were foiled by poor compliance. The hernia was repaired during an emergency caesarean section. We provide details of her management and briefly review the literature on umbilical hernias and pregnancy. Surgical management offers an opportunity for hernia repair and can ensure a safe delivery for the mother and child.

Abstract Aim “This retrospective analysis on 1000 cases of Diatasis Recti (DR) complicated by single/multiple, primary/recurrent hernias, all treated with the Laparoscopic Abdominoplasty Technique (LAP-T), aims at evaluating the possible correlation of higher recurrence rate and complications when DR is left untreated” Material and Methods “This review on 1000 patients, <65yrs, BMI<30, 3>IRD>12, based on CT Scan/MRI study, showed 235 (23,5%) of them to be recurrent umbilical/midline hernias engaged on untreated RMD, independently from the surgical technique used for primary repair. Re-operation with LAP-T technique, consisted in removal of recurrent hernia and dislocated mesh when present, closure by self-locking running sutures of the hernia defect and the DR. Repair is consolidated placing an intra-peritoneal mesh” Results “In all patients, recurrence was repaired, DR reconstructed and abdominal wall anatomy and physiological functionality successfully restored. No intra operative bleeding, seroma formation, chronic pain, nor mesh infection have been recorded. 98% follow up at 12 months, 91% at 24, no recurrences observed” Conclusions “Higher incidence of recurrent umbilical/midline hernias observed in this analysis, compared to average recurrence rate reported in literature, suggest that regardless primary repair technique, the repair of the sole hernia engaged on a DR is likely to lead to a recurrent hernia, further midline hernia defects formation and worsening of the DR. A significant correlation between the recurrency after primary umbilical/midline repair when a concomitant RMD is left untreated is likely to lead to a more invasive and complicated re-intervention, higher complication rate and discomfort for the patient”

Aim: To study clinical outcomes of immediate postpartum IUCD insertion and to compare immediate postpartum IUCD insertion as a factor of route of insertion (caesarean vs. vaginal). Material and methods: This prospective study was conducted in a Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, College of medicine and JNM Hospital, Kalyani, Nadia. Duration of the study was one and half years [ 15 months inclusion, 3 months follow up]. Total 100 cases are included [50 vaginal and 50 caesarean]. Women who were attending or referred to OPD or ER of Dept. of Obst and Gynae, College of medicine and JNM Hospital and delivering either vaginally or by caesarean section, have received counseling for postoperative contraception and have consented to PPIUCD insertion Result:It was found that in Caesarean, 26(52.0%) patients had bleeding P/V 6 weeks. In Vaiginal, 28(56.0%) patients had bleeding P/V 6 weeks. Association of bleeding P/V 6 weeks vs. group was not statistically signicant (p=0.61968). In Caesarean, 11(22.0%) patients had bleeding P/V 3 weeks. In Vaiginal, 13(26.0%) patients had bleeding P/V 3 weeks. Association of bleeding P/V 3 weeks vs. group was not statistically signicant (p=0.6395). Conclusion:Infection was not statistically signicant in two groups at 6 week and 3 month.Missing thread was signicantly higher caesarean delivery compared to vaginal delivery.It was also found that refusal/ continuation was more common in vaginal delivery compared to caesarean delivery, which was not statistically signicant.

Background: Over the last few decades, there has been an alarming increase in the rate of deliveries by caesarean section (CS) in most of the countries, though the drivers of this trend are not completely understood. In 1985, WHO had proposed that ideal rate for regional CS rates should not exceed 10-15%. The Robson’s classification system is simple, robust and flexible. The study was done as it was important to have a tool to monitor, compare the CS rates in a same setting and between different settings over a period of time and to optimise the CS rates.Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology in a tertiary care centre. The hospital delivery records were reviewed for a period of 15 months from April 2020 to June 2021.Results: The total number of deliveries during the study period was 1016. The total number of CSs was 441 and the total number of vaginal deliveries was 575.The CS rate was 43.4%. The relative contribution from groups 1, 2 and 5 in our study accounted for 76.36% and group 5 accounted for 44.4% of the total CSs. These 3 groups should be the focus of attention to reduce the overall CS rates.Conclusions: It is advisable that all institutions can use the Robson’s report table to analyse the population catered by them and to make institutional specific policies. This will allow comparing the data amongst the different institutions and countries which can help in policy making.

The term gossypiboma is used to describe a retained surgical sponge or gauge after surgery. The clinical features range from being asymptomatic to frank bowel obstruction, perforation and peritonitis. Radiological modalities also do not provide a definite diagnosis. We report a case of a 30-year-old lady who presented to the emergency room with recurrent surgical site infection. She had a history of caesarean section 5 months ago. Following the caesarean section, she developed superficial wound dehiscence which was re-sutured. At the present facility, the lady underwent Computed tomography (CT) scan and was suspected to have a foreign body around the gut. She was planned for an exploratory laparotomy. Upon laparotomy, a large thick-walled ileal loop with some unusual intra luminal mass was found. Dense adhesions were present between the ileal loop and sigmoid colon. Adhesiolysis led to an iatrogenic sigmoid colon perforation, around 2 cm length. On incision over the ileal loop, surgical sponge was retrieved. Ileal loop was resected along with perforated site with end-to-end ileo-ileal anastomosis was done. Primary repair of sigmoid colon perforation was done. Patient was stable in postoperative period. Although rare, gossypiboma should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis in postoperative cases presenting with recurrent surgical site infection.

Uterine torsion is defined as a rotation of uterus more than 45 degrees along its long axis. However, a pathologic rotation of the uterus beyond 45 degrees-torsion of the entire uterus-is rarely seen in obstetrical practice, authors report a case of torsion of the uterus by 90 degrees. The patient, a 30-year-old gravida 3 para 2 at 37 weeks’ gestation with a singleton pregnancy, her prior obstetrical history included two uncomplicated term vaginal deliveries, and the current pregnancy had been uncomplicated until the date of presentation was admitted to the obstetrical unit  with  labour at 37 weeks 5 days ,on obstetric examination the patient was in labour with transversal presentation of the fetus so an emergency caesarean section (CS) was carried out for. At the time of CS, the diagnosis of uterine torsion of 90 degrees was made. After the delivery of the baby, uterus returned to anatomical position and the torsion corrected spontaneously. The patient recovered and was discharged home with her baby on the third postoperative day. Uterine torsion is an infrequently reported and potentially dangerous complication of pregnancy that occurs mainly in the third trimester.
