Background: Women presents with previous history of cesarean section (CS) is a ‘high risk pregnancy’ and requires regular antenatal check-ups. Planned CS at term done for perinatal interest. Post cesarean pregnancy admitted through emergency required direct CS, for those not fit for vaginal birth as per different guidelines. Main objective of this study is to know neonatal and maternal outcome at term for planned versus emergency CS with previous one CS.Methods: Planned or emergency CS were done in 1003 pregnant women at term with previous one CS and outcome of both neonatal and maternal were noted. Emergency CS done in failed VBAC women were excluded from the study.Results: Planned CS before onset of labor were done in 22.93% and emergency CS in 77.07% in the present study. A significant number of women has undergone planned CS in cephalo-pelvic disproportion (45.21%), contracted pelvis (24.34%) and fetal growth restriction (6.95%) where P=0.000. Scar tenderness (20.18%), fetal distress (16.04%) and cephalo-pelvic disproportion (15.52%) were major indications for emergency CS. Maternal complications in the emergency CS group were pyrexia (P=0.000) and blood transfusion, required in 1.81% (P=0.000). There were two maternal death and hysterectomy required in 0.38% in the emergency CS compared to 1.30% in the planned CS (P=0.274). Neonatal complications were significant(P=0.018) in the emergency CS group. Common complications were jaundice (2.84% versus 1.73%, P=0.489), sepsis (0.25% versus 0.86%, P=0.487) and early neonatal death (2.97% versus 0.86%, P=0.119) in emergency CS compared to planned CS.Conclusions: Neonatal morbidity and mortality were significant in the emergency CS, compared to planned CS. Pyrexia and blood transfusion were significant maternal morbidity in the emergency CS group.

BACKGROUND: Pre-labour Rupture of Membranes (PROM) is an important cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and increased rate of cesarean section delivery. AIM: The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics, PROM-delivery interval, mode of delivery, and early maternal neonatal outcome among pregnant patients presenting with pre-labour rupture of membranes.MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective case control study is implemented at the Obstetric and Gynecology Clinic of the University Clinical Center of Kosovo. The study included 100 pregnant patients presenting with prelabour rupture of membranes of which 63 were primigravida and 37 patients were multigravida.RESULTS: The incidence of cesarean section in this study is 28 % and the most common indications for cesarean delivery were fetal distress, malpresentation, cephalopelvic disproportion, and failed induction. The most common maternal complications in this study are chorioamnionitis, retained placenta and postpartum hemorrhage. Neonatal infectious morbidity was present in 16 % of cases.CONCLUSION: PROM is a significant issue for obstetricians and an important cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and increased rate of cesarean section delivery.

Background: The Caesarean section epidemic is a reason for immediate concern and deserves serious international attention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate adverse maternal and fetal complications associated with pregnancies with history of previous caesarean section.Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study carried out over a period of 1 year from 1st June 2016 to 31st July 2017 in Medical College Kolkata. 200 antenatal patients with previous history of 1 or more caesarean sections were included. In all cases thorough history, complete physical and obstetrical examination, routine and case specific investigations were carried out and patients were followed till delivery and for 7 days thereafter. All adverse maternal and fetal complications were noted.Results: Out of 200 women, 30 candidates were tried for VBAC, of them 20 (66.66%) had successful outcome. Most common antenatal complication was APH (5.5%) due to placenta praevia followed by scar dehiscence. There were 12 cases (6.66%) of PPH and 6 cases (3.33%) of scar dehiscence in the study group. 3 cases required urgent hysterectomy due to placenta accreta. 42 out of 196 babies required management in SNCU immediately or later after birth.Conclusions: Women with a prior cesarean are at increased risk for repeat cesarean section. Vigilance with respect to indication at primary cesarean delivery, proper counselling for trial of labor and proper antepartum and intrapartum monitoring of patients are key to reducing the cesarean section rates and maternal complications.

Abstract Abnormal invasive placenta (AIP) is subdivided into total, partial and focal types. A diagnosis of total AIP is made when the entire placenta adheres to the uterine myometrium. We experienced a patient with total AIP who had a history of an emergency cesarean section at 36 weeks of gestation due to placental abruption, and massive hemorrhage due to severe uterine atony treated conservatively with blood transfusion. From our experience with the present case, we hypothesize that total AIP resulted from thinning of the entire endometrium, as can occur with an ischemic change of the entire uterus after disruption of Nitabuch’s layer in severe placental abruption and intramuscular extravasation with uterine atony. This situation might adversely affect placental implantation in the current pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Since the publication of term breech trail there had been a dramatic changeworldwide from selective to planned Cesarean Section for all women with breech presentation at term.This high cesarean section rate led to adverse consequences in subsequent pregnancy &on futurefertility. Choice of safest mode of delivery has always been a dilemma.OBJECTIVE: Prospective interventional study. This study was done to determine the safety of vaginalbreech birth in terms of neonatal & maternal complications, so that to encourage the trend of breechdelivery in carefully selected cases & to discourage the trend of routinely recommending cesareansection for all gravidas with fetus in breech presentation at term. The study was conducted atDepartment of Obstetrics & Gynae Mardan Medical Complex from January 2010 to December 2015.PATIENTS & METHOD: About 809 patients with singleton pregnancy with breech presentation wereincluded. Decision about mode of delivery was taken on the basis of clinical judgment and ultrasoundwhich was further reviewed in the light of rate of progress during labour .Delivery was conducted byexperienced obstetrician. Mother & infants were followed up to 6 wks post partum. The primaryoutcome was neonatal mortality, infant mortality & serious infant morbidity.RESULTS: out of 809 total patients with breech presentation, 714 were planned for vaginal delivery674 delivered (83%) while 40 pts (5%) had emergency Cesarean Sections.95 patients (12%) hadElective cesarean section. In the delivery group two (0.29%) neonates had serious neonatal morbidity. Inthe cesarean group there was no serious neonatal morbidity. Infection & blood loss was greater in thecesarean group. There were no serious maternal complications in the vaginal delivery group. Thedifference between neonatal morbidity, perinatal mortality &neonatal mortality between the two groupswas not significant.CONCLUSION: Vaginal breech delivery is still a safe option which better suits the clinical situation&problems of our patients .In our set up, Cesarean section should not be routinely advised to patientswith breech presentation no matter it may be the best management option in developed countries.Careful case selection & vigilant monitoring of progress of labour will save many patients fromunnecessary section without costing extra morbidity & mortality.KEY WORDS: Breech presentation, Breech Delivery, Cesarean section, Apgar score.

Background: The aim of induction of labour is to achieve vaginal delivery in advance of the normal timing of parturition and to avoid operative delivery. The objective was to study the incidence of instrumental delivery and cesarean section in nulliparous women with unfavourable bishops score at term.Methods: This study was conducted on 200 patients in nulliparous women with unfavourable bishop score, cephalic presentation and no previous history of abortion.Results: The most frequent cause of induction of labour was postdatism (47.5%) followed by PIH (25.5%) and PROM (13%). 143 (71.5%) women had normal vaginal delivery whereas in 54 women (27%) cesarean section was done. 2 women (1%) had forceps application for delivery and remaining 1 women (0.5%) had ventouse delivery. Out of 200 patients 9 had maternal complication of induction of labour.Conclusions: In present study 71.5% women had normal vaginal delivery, 27% had cesarean section. Mean bishop score at induction was 3.31 which improved to 4.0 after 12 hours of gel instillation. The mean induction to delivery interval was 13.38 hrs in present study, 54.5% patients were delivered within 12 hours of gel instillation in this study. Most common indication of cesarean section was failed progress followed by fetal distress.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this article is to study the various factors that can predict the success of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) section. Materials and methods A retrospective cohort study of deliveries was conducted from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014 by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in our hospital. Patients with previous low transverse cesarean section who had undergone a trial of labor were identified. Maternal inpatient and prenatal records were reviewed in all eligible subjects. During labor, uterine activity and fetal heart rate were monitored. When indicated, oxytocin or prostaglandin E2 was used for induction of labor according to Bishop score. Emergency cesarean delivery was considered in cases with the appearance of scar tenderness, fetal distress, nonprogress of labor, and deep transverse arrest. Results A total of 200 women were eligible for VBAC, but after written informed consent, 131 (65.5%) subjects were given trial of labor at term after one prior cesarean delivery among 3,604 deliveries while 69 (34.5%) subjects opted for elective repeat cesarean section. The overall VBAC success rate was 63.3% (76 of 120) in our study. History of spontaneous labor (p = 0.042) and history of previous vaginal delivery (p = 0.038) were found to be significantly associated with increased chance of success of VBAC, and lesser interdelivery interval was not found to be associated with decreased success rate (p = 0.096). Neither indication of previous cesarean nor birth weight of newborn (>3 kg) was found to be related to the success of VBAC. Conclusion Vaginal birth after cesarean section is a safe practice as long as it is offered with a proper selection of candidates with factors having a high success rate. Physicians need to be aware of factors having a good outcome before counseling mothers so that failure rates decrease and successful VBAC is increased.

Background: Fetal macrosomia has a major influence on maternal, neonatal and pregnancy outcomes.Objective: To describe the clinical and subclinical features and the management of fetal macrosomia on pregnancy outcomes. Subjects and methods: Study subjects including pregnant women and babies born ≥ 3500 g with nulliparous and over 4000 grams with primiparous or multiparous at Departement of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. The time of choosing subjects to enter the research group is that after birth, the weight is above 3500/4000 grams, then follow up the pregnancy result and retrospect the clinical and subclinical characteristics. Results: From May 2019 to April 2020, there were 223 pregnant women with the birth weight ≥ 3500 g in this study. The mean neonatal weight for macrosomia was 3869.96 ± 315.72 (g). The birth weight ≥ 4000 g, the rate of cesarean section was 91.5%, vaginal birth was 8.5%. The birth weight 3500 - under 4000 g, the rate of cesarean section was 76%, vaginal birth was 24%. 1.1% maternal complications was perineal tear. Conclusion:Factors related to fetal macrosomia: Maternal age, gender of fetus, parity, a history of fetal macrosomia, maternal height, pregnancy weight gain. Caesarean section is the majority. Key words: Fetal macrosomia, gestational diabetes mellitus, normal labor, caesarean section.

Background: Caesarean section is the most commonly performed major surgery among women. The aims and objective of this study was to know the incidence of primary Caesarean section in multigravidas, its indications and to know the maternal and foetal outcome among these patients. Methodology: This was an observational study conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Laheriasarai, Bihar. Aim of the study was to study the indication, maternal and fetal outcome in primary cesarean in multiparous women. All multiparous women admitted for delivery were included in the study Results: The total number of deliveries were 3064 and cesarean section were 1026 (33%).The total number of primary cesarean section in multiparous women were 84 constituting 2.7%. In this study, majority of women were Gravida 2. 91.6% of the cases were underwent emergency cesarean section and anesthesia was spinal. Majority of patients were between age group of 22 to 27 yrs (70%). Indications for cesarean section in our study were severe oligohydroamnios (22%), fetal distress (15.4%), and breech presentation (14%), premature rupture of membrane (12%).Intra operative ndings were meconium stained liquor, post partum hemorrhage, thinned out lower segment and extension of incision. Out of 84 cases, 48 cases needed intra operative or immediate post operative blood transfusion. The post operative morbidity was present in 6 cases i.e paralytic ileus, puerperal fever, urinary tract infection and wound gaping. Majority of babies, weighed in the range of 2-3kgs (55%).Out of 84 cases 7 were causes were placenta previa, obstructed labor and fetal distress. Conclusion: Many unforeseen complications occur in women who previously had a normal vaginal delivery. It is recommended that all antenatal patients must be booked and receive proper and regular antenatal care. Also 100% deliveries in multigravida should be institutional deliveries in order to reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Background: Preeclampsia is a complex clinical syndrome which involves multiple organ systems and remains the principle cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Preeclampsia is a disease of trophoblastic tissue. Placental abnormality is one of the initial events in patients who are destined to develop pregnancy induced hypertension subsequently. Objective of this study was to evaluate the association of laterally located placenta on ultrasound with development of preeclampsia.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on 200 antenatal women with singleton pregnancy at 18-24 weeks of gestation who attended antenatal clinic of obstetrics and gynaecology, PGIMS Rohtak from October 2017 to October 2018. Detailed antenatal transabdominal ultrasound along with placental location was done between 18-24 weeks of gestation in women who fitted into inclusion criteria. All the antenatal women belonged to 18-24 weeks of gestation were included in the study except those women with chronic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, renal disease, severe anaemia, thyrotoxicosis, low lying placenta, previous history of preeclampsia or eclampsia.Results: Out of 200 antenatal women, 84 had lateral placenta while 116 had central placenta. Out of these 84 women who had lateral placenta, 55 women (65.5%) developed preeclampsia and out of 116 (58%) women who had central placenta, 28 women (24.1%) developed preeclampsia.Conclusions: From the above study, we concluded that women with laterally located placenta by ultrasound at 18-24 weeks of gestation have greater risk of developing preeclampsia.

Objectives: To compare the obstetric outcome between primigravida andmultigravida presenting in labor at term. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Period: Sixmonths from Jan 2013 to Jun 2013. Setting: Obs/Gynae unit III, Jinnah hospital, Lahore.Patients and methods: 800 patients were included in the study which comprised 400of primigravida and 400 of multigravida. Patients having single, alive fetus with cephalicpresentation at 37-41 weeks were included in the study. Those having recurrent miscarriages,parity >5, antepartum hemorrhage, previous uterine scars and significant medical illness wereexcluded from the study. The data was collected on specially designed proforma. Observationsmode of delivery including the indication of cesarean section or instrumental vaginal deliveryif applicable. Maternal complications such as postpartum hemorrhage along with its cause,retained placenta and uterine inversion were also recorded. Fetal and neonatal observationsincluded CTG abnormalities, oligohydramnios, low birth weight, macrosomia, Apgar score < 7at 5minutes, NICU admission, fresh still birth and early neonatal death. Results: Mean age was25.57+ 3.46 years in primigravida women while it was 25.75 + 3.44 years in multigravida group.CTG abnormalities (15.5% VS 4.25%), instrumental deliveries (9.75% VS 1%), cesarean section(15.25% VS 1%) and postpartum hemorrhage (5.7% VS 1.75%) were commoner in primigravidawomen. In addition, NICU admissions, low birth weight babies and a low Apgar score at5-minute were also commoner in primigravida women. Conclusion: Nulliparous women areat greater risk of labor abnormalities, fetal distress, instrumental deliveries, cesarean section,postpartum hemorrhage and neonatal morbidity. These adverse factors should therefore belooked for and treated well in time.
