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.

Background: To study indications, intraoperative and postoperative complications and fetomaternal outcome in cesarean sections done at full dilatation.Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional study which was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, RNT medical college, Udaipur from November 2018 to April 2019. 100 cases of caesarean sections at full dilatation which were performed during this period were analyzed for indications and maternal and fetal morbidity.Results: Among these 100 cesarean sections, majority of cases were in the age group of 21-30 years (46%), booked and  Primigravida(81%).Most common indications were cephalo-pelvic disproportion (27%) and fetal distress (21%). Most commonly baby was delivered either by vertex (44%) or by Patwardhan (31%). Intraoperative complications were higher in terms of hematuria in 41%, Atonic PPH in 35%, uterine incision extension in 28% of cases. In one case bladder injury was noticed. Increased incidence of post-operative febrile illness and wound infection were noted. 44% baby’s required nursery admission, most commonly due to birth asphyxia (16%) and RDS (11%).Conclusions: Cesarean section in the 2nd stage of labor is associated with significantly increased maternal morbidity, Neonatal morbidity and mortality. So proper monitoring during labor and involvement of skilled obstetrician in decision making and delivery is crucial to minimize fetomaternal complications.

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.

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.

Background: Lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) is a surgical intervention, which is carried out to ensure the safety of mother and baby when vaginal delivery is not possible or when danger to mother and baby would be greater with vaginal delivery. This study is designed to identify indication of LSCS and detect complications if any among the respondents. Materials and methods: Cross sectional descriptive study where 95 female doctors of Chattogram were selected by convenient sampling without knowing their mode of delivery and if it is LSCS then indication of LSCS , maternal and neonatal complications were noted. Results: Age of the respondents at the time of interview were noted and most of them were between 31- 40 years 52 (55%), regarding income most of them between 100000 -200000 42(44%) most of the delivery occurred in the private clinics 92 (70%) regarding mode of delivery, LSCS was 92 (70%) vaginal delivery 40 (30%) regarding indications of LSCS most common was repeat caesarean section 27 (29%) and second common was LSCS due to maternal interest 18 (20%) and others were severe preeclampsia 10 (11%) fetal distress 08(09%) placenta previa, Diabetes with big baby, cephalopelvic disproportion, PROM with non progression of labour. PPH was the most common complication 05 (63%), next was paralytic ileus 02 (25%) and left ventricular failure 01 (12%). Common neonatal comoplications were low birth weight baby 904 (40%), prematurity 03 (30%) and birth asphyxia 03 (03%). Conclusion: LSCS is a major surgical procedure for delivery. Inspite of its low maternal morbidity and mortality due to improved surgical technique, modern aneasthetic skill and availability of blood and blood products, still it carries a slightly greater risk in subsequent pregnancy, so we should be rational in doing primary caesarean section.

Introduction: Caesarean Section (CS) rates are a major public health concern and cause worldwide debates according to latest data from 150 countries. Currently 18.6% of all births occur by CS, ranging from 6 to 27.2% in the least and most developed regions. This study was done to find out incidence and outcome of CS and geographical variation of women coming for the service in this Zonal Hospital. Methods: A retrospective review of case files of 771 women who had CS from 16th April 2017 to15th April 2018 were analyzed for demographic profile like age, parity, geographical location. Similarly, gestational age, various indications of CS, incidence, parity, maternal and fetal outcome and duration of hospital stay were recorded. Results: Out of 5083 deliveries, 771 (15.17%) had CS. Most of the CS was done for Cephalopevic disproportion (CPD) which was 175 (22.70%) and previous CS, 140 (18.15%). Majority of CS which was 328 (42.54%), in age group 20-24 years. In relation to parity nulliparous were 463 (60.05%). Maternal morbidity was 31 (4.02%) and maternal mortality was one after CS. Apgar score of the baby between 0-3 was 3.24%. Three babies were expired within 24 hours due to severe birth asphyxia. The patients from Banke district were 408 (52.92%). Conclusion: Study showed CS rate, 15.7% which is in upper limit of WHO recommendation and 60.50% were nulliparous had CS and most common indication of CS was CPD and fetal distress. There was no CTG used in routine practice.

Background: The leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality is prematurity in developed and underdeveloped countries. In one third of the patients with preterm labour, there is associated premature rupture of membranes. The study was conducted to evaluate the clinical presentation of Pre-labour Rupture of Membrane (PROM) in pregnancy and obstetric outcome. Materials and methods: This is a cross sectional study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, between September 2013 to February 2014. About 50 women having PROM with more than 32 weeks gestational age who admitted in the above department for delivery were enrolled in this study. Results: The mean age was found 27.4 ± 4.42 years with range from 17 to 41 years. Forty eight percent of PROM patient were primi and 52.0 percent of patients were multigravida. Six percent patients were illiterate. Almost two third patients were housewives. More than half (54.0%) of the patients were came from poor class income group family. Majority (64.0%) patients had term PROM (>37 weeks) gestational age and the mean gestational age was 38.1 ± 2.7 weeks with range from 32- 40 weeks. More than half (54.0%) didn't received any antenatal checkup. A total of (56.0%) patients had associated disease, out of which anaemia was more common. Twelve percent had diabetes mellitus and 8.0% had UTI infection. Almost two third (64.0%) was vaginal delivery and 18(36.0%) were caesarean section and common indication for caesarean section was fetal distress (38.9%). Two third patients were healthy and 17 patients had morbidities, wound infection is highest (29.4%). The mean birth weight was found 2.74 ± 0.7 kg. APGAR score >7 at 1 minute was found (92.0%) and (94.0%) at 5 minutes of birth of baby after birth. Fetal outcome take home alive (98.0%) and neonatal death 2.0%. Among 50 foetus morbidity develop in 26 cases. Among them respiratory insufficiency is highest (38.5%). Conclusion: Motivation of the patients, health education, improvement of nutritional status of mother, neonatal care service, early diagnosis, treatment, overall institutional delivery is needed for reduction of neonatal morbidity and mortality, as well as maternal morbidity.

Background: Incidence of caesarean section is rapidly rising over last two decades and one fourth is contributed by caesarean section in second stage. The objective of this study was to study of fetomaternal outcome in second stage caesarean section.Methods: Prospective observational study was done in 80 women undergoing second stage caesarean section from December 2015 to March 2017 at Lady Hardinge Medical Collage Delhi. These women observed from labour to caesarean section in second stage of labour till post-operative period for any complication. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed in these women.Results: Caesarean section rate was 22% in which 3.9% were done in second stage of labour. Most common gestational age being 39-40 weeks (47%). Most common indication being deep transverse arrest (41.25%). Intraoperative complication as bladder injury (5%), extension of uterine incision (23%), PPH (33%) and need for blood transfusion (31%) and post-operative complication as wound sepsis in 58% and 20% requiring resuturing, post-operative fever, prolong hospital stay, prolonged catheterization etc. neonatal complications as severe birth asphyxia (2.5%), respiratory distress (55%), need for mechanical ventilation.Conclusions: Thus, caesarean section done in second stage of labour is associated with increased maternal and neonatal morbidity.

BACKGROUND: Placenta previa, the most catastrophic complication not only poses a risk to the fetus but also endangers the mother's life. AIM:To find the incidence of placenta previa in patients with previous caesarean section and to study the maternal outcome. METHODS: A hospital based prospective study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, Guwahati, Assam from 1st June 2018 to 31st May 2019. During this period, 2100 patients with history of previous caesarean section were identified and 66 patients were found to have placenta previa. RESULTS:The incidence of placenta previa was found to be 3.14%. The incidence increases with increase in number of caesarean section. Maximum patients were unbooked from rural area within the age group of 26-30 years. Outcome was studied by need of blood transfusion in 87.7%, postpartum haemorrhage in 19.6%, adherent placenta previa in 10.7%, hysterectomy in 15.1%, Internal iliac artery ligation in 6% and bladder injury in 9.09%. CONCLUSION:Incidence of placenta previa is high in patients with previous cesarean section.

Abstract Background Spontaneous uterine rupture is a severe pregnancy complication. Several risk factors have been described, especially for women with a previous caesarean section.Method We reported two cases of uterine rupture (UR) occurred outside of labour in patients with a history of caesarean section for placenta previa were reports. Results The current study evaluates how a higher hysterotomy, combined with some risk factors, can increase the prevalence of UR in the next pregnancy. Conclusion These cases presentation provide a supplement to over-all knowledge about UR showing that a careful evaluation of risk factors could promote the early UR management and consequently, improve the maternal-fetal outcome.

Objectives: To assess maternal and fetal morbidity associated with placenta previa and morbidly adherent placenta (MAP). Methods: All patients with placenta previa who delivered in services hospital from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2019 were included. Maternal and fetal outcomes were compared amongst patients with placenta previa and MAP. Results: Total of 8002 patients delivered with 152 (1.9%)diagnosed as placenta previa and 56 (36.8%) amongst them had MAP. One hundred thirty-one out of One hundred fifty-two (86.1%) of our patients were booked. Increased number of caesarean section, multi parity and anterior placenta had significant association with MAP (p<0.0001). Maternal morbidity in terms of postpartum hemorrhage >2000ml, caesarean hysterectomy, number of blood transfusions, bladder injury, need for ICU admission was significantly more in patients with MAP (p<0.0001). Case fatality was 3% with two maternal deaths in MAP and none in placenta previa. Fetal outcome was good in both groups as gestational age at delivery was 36 weeks or more, birth weight was ≥ 2.5 kg and >6 APGAR score (p<0.05). Two neonatal deaths occurred in MAP and one in placenta previa owing to prematurity. Conclusion: MAP is a dreadful complication of placenta previa with increased maternal morbidity. Regular antenatal care with adequate arrangement of blood transfusion and multidisciplinary approach can reduce maternal mortality. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.5.1647 How to cite this:Wasim T, Bushra N, Riaz S, Iqbal HI.
