Background: Caesarean section is the commonest obstetric operative procedure worldwide. The potential perioperative problems in repeat caesarean section include adhesions, increased blood loss, prolonged operative time, injuries to adjacent structures, hysterectomy etc. These increase with increase in caesarean section number.Methods: Hospital based observational study, conducted at Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Assam Medical College, from July 2019 to June 2020 with the aim to study intraoperative difficulties encountered during repeat caesarean section. Cases were grouped into two main groups based on number of prior caesarean sections. A detailed history, clinical and intraoperative findings of all pregnant women undergoing repeat caesarean section were noted. Results were tabulated and analysed.Results: Out of 400 women with prior caesarean section who underwent repeat caesarean. 321 had 1 prior caesarean and rest had 2. Among the cases cephalopelvic disproportion was the commonest (43.25%) indication and obstructed labour was the least common (0.25%). Common complications were adhesions (38.25%), thinned lower uterine segment (27%), advance bladder (19.50%), uterine dehiscence (14.75%), excess blood loss (12.75%), extension of uterine incision (8.25%), uterine rupture (1%), placenta accrete (0.75%), and bladder injury (0.5%). Intraoperative complications like adhesions, uterine dehiscence, delivery and operating time were significantly higher in women with 2 prior caesarean section compared to 1 prior caesarean section (p<0.001).Conclusions: Women with caesarean scar are at high risk in subsequent pregnancies particularly in a country like India where antenatal care is often neglected. Best technique to reduce multiple potential complications of repeat caesarean section is to reduce the rates of primary and repeat caesarean sections whenever possible.

Background: In the last decades caesarean section rates increased in many countries becoming the most performed intraperitoneal surgical procedure. The operative technique performed is made chiefly on the basis of the individual experience and preference of operators, the characteristics of patients, timing and urgency of intervention. Present study was undertaken to assess the benefits of the Misgav Ladach caesarean section technique in tertiary care hospital and evaluate the operative parameters like efficacy, safety, duration of surgery, blood loss, need for suture material, post-operative morbidity.Methods: Prospective surgical interventional study conducted in department of obstetrics and gynecology in tertiary care institute.Results: The duration of surgery, blood loss and post-operative complications were significantly less in the Misgav Ladach technique of LSCS.Conclusions: The choice of the Caesarean section technique is strictly linked to the individual experience and confidence of the surgical team. Misgav-Ladach technique proved to be associated to less complications, moreover, since its shorter operating time; it is to prefer in all that cases a prompt operation is required.

Background : Caesarean section is often perceived to be safer than vaginal delivery for mothers and neonates, and thus has become increasingly common around the globe. However, it may actually be detrimental to maternal and neonatal health while consuming valuable resources. Objective : The objective of this study was to categorize the caesarean sections performed in our rural institute into various categories using NICE classification and to study the maternal and neonatal outcome in them. Method : This was a prospective study of all women who underwent caesarean section over a period of 18 months. Data was retrieved from the files of women for morbiditiy and mortality in mothers and babies. Data was entered in MS excel sheet and analyzed with percentages and chi square test using SPSS ver.17. Results: Caesarean section rate (CSR) was 36.88%. All CS were classified into four categories based on urgency as per NICE guidelines. There were 22.62% women in Category I, 38.61% in category II, 28.37% in category III and 10.40% in Category IV. Adhesions, extension of angle, lacerations in lower segment, scar dehiscence, atonic PPH and bladder injury were noted in (12.83%), 11.81%, 6.83%, 4.08% , 1.53% and 0.08% CS respectively. Caesarean hysterectomy was done in 0.24% cases. Postoperative morbidity was febrile morbidity (11.93%), postdural puncture headache (13.85%), paralytic ileus (11.49%), wound infection (8.83%), ARDS (0.70%), sepsis (0.78%), pulmonary edema (0.47%) and pulmonary embolism (0.03%). Maternal mortality was 0.03%. Neonates born were 2577 (29 were twin deliveries). 82.46% neonates were healthy, 16.80% had morbidities and 0.74% were still born. Apgar score of less than 7 was in 10%. 16.80% neonates were admitted in NICU during their hospital stay. Neonatal mortality was 1.47%. Conclusion : Intraoperative and post-operative complication were more in caesarean sections of category I and II as compared to category III and category IV. Neonatal morbidity, mortality and admissions to NICU were more in caesarean sections of category I and II as compared to category III and category IV. Thus though caesarean section is an emergency lifesaving procedure for mother and baby it may prove detrimental to their health.

Risk Of Hemorrhage

Abstract Introduction Tonsillectomy is one of the most common otolaryngology procedures performed worldwide. It is also one of the first procedures learnt by residents during their training period. Although tonsillectomy is viewed relatively as a low-risk procedure, it can be potentially harmful because of the chance of posttonsillectomy hemorrhage. Objective The objective of the present study is to analyze the effects of peroperative factors and experience of the surgeon on the incidence and pattern of posttonsillectomy reactionary hemorrhage. Methods A retrospective review of medical charts was performed from 2014 to 2017 in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 1,284 patients who underwent tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy were included in the study. The parameters assessed were experience of the surgeon, operating time, intraoperative blood loss, difference in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse rate. Results A total of 23 (1.79%) out of the 1,284 patients had reactionary hemorrhage. Out of those 23, 16 (69.5%) patients had been operated on by trainees, while 7 (30.5%) had been operated on by consultants (p = 0.033, odds ratio [OR] = 0.04). Operating time, intraoperative blood loss, difference in MAP and pulse rate were significantly higher in the reactionary hemorrhage group, and showed a positive association with risk of hemorrhage (p < 0.05; OR >1). Re-exploration to control the bleeding was required in 10 (76.9%) out of the 23 cases. Conclusion The experience of the surgeon experience and peroperative factors have an association with posttonsillectomy hemorrhage. Close surveillance and monitoring of the aforementioned peroperative factors will help in the identification of patients at risk of hemorrhage.

AbstractCarotid body tumor (CBT) are slow-growing tumors that develop in the cervical region at the carotid bifurcation. . In a randomized study, 33 patients were treated for CBT excision: 10 patients performed preoperative embolization (PE) and 23 were treated only by isolated traditional surgery (N-PE). The first group includes patients undergoing preoperative embolization. The second group of patients (N-PE) included 11 males and 12 females. Intraoperative complications were lower in patients treated with a hybrid procedure (PE): sections of the cranial nerves were recorded in 7% of cases compared to 12% of the surgical procedure (P-value = 0.72); while the reversible nerve lesions (P value = 0.21) and the permanent ones (P value = 0.46), were instead similar in both procedures. The comparative blood loss during the operative procedure shows a P-value of 0.02. Operating times, reversible damage of the cranial nerves , incidence of stroke (0% vs1%, P value> 0.99) and post-operative hospital stay (4.1 vs. 4.2 days, P value = 0.91) did not show differences in the two groups of patients. The analysis of the results detects pre-operative embolization of CBT in reducing intraoperative blood loss and resection of the cranial nerves..

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of omitting the step of bladder flap formation at lower-segment caesarean delivery.Methods: It is a RCT (randomised control trial), non-blinded study conducted in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 104 women who underwent caesarean delivery (elective or emergency) were prospectively randomized to one of the two groups. In the study group (n= 54), caesarean was performed without formation of a bladder flap. In the control group (n=50), caesarean was performed with the formation of a bladder flap before the uterine incision.Results: There were differences of median skin incision to delivery interval (5 versus 6.5 minutes, P <0.0001), median total operating time (35 versus 44.5 minutes, P 0.0002), and median blood loss (haemoglobin 0.5 versus 1g/dl, P 0.0001) in favor of the study group. Postoperative incidence of urinary tract infection was reduced in the study group (1% versus 9%, P <0.0006) and bowel function returned early in the study group (day 2 versus 3, P<0.0001).  Bladder flap formation step was successfully omitted in (11/18, 61.11%) of previous CS (caesarean section) patients in the study group and (7/12, 58.33%) in control group illustrating that unless required, BF (bladder flap) formation step can even be omitted in previous CS patients.Conclusions: Omission of the bladder flap provides short term advantages such as reduction of total operating time, incision-delivery interval, and reduced blood loss and that this technique can even be applied in previous caesarean section patients.

A Prospective Study

Background: Caesarean section is the most commonly performed abdominal operation in women all over the world. Caesarean sections during the second stage labour accounts for approximately one fourth of all primary caesareans.  Caesarean section at full cervical dilatation is technically difficult and is associated with increased trauma to the lower uterine segment and adjacent structures, as well as increased haemorrhage and infection. Aims and objectives were to determine the indications, maternal and foetal morbidity associated with caesarean section in the second stage of labour.Methods: This prospective study included consecutive 50 cases of caesarean section deliveries conducted in second stage of labor for singleton live pregnancies at term. The data collected in the study was analyzed in terms of maternal demographics, indications of caesarean section, intra-operative and postoperative complications and neonatal outcomes.Results: In our series of 50 deliveries, arrest of descent of fetal head due to malposition was the most common indication of caesarean section accounting for 74% and average procedure time was 45-70 minutes. PPH (62%) was the most common complication. Bladder injury was found in 14% cases. Neonatal outcome variables like APGAR<3 at 5 minutes, respiratory distress and neonatal death were observed in 7, 26 and 2 deliveries respectively.Conclusions: Women undergoing cesarean section in second stage of labour are associated with increased maternal and fetal morbidity. They require special care and hence operation should ideally be performed and supervised by an experienced obstetrician. A proper judgement is required to take a decision for caesarean section at full cervical dilatation.

Background: Due to technical advances in the field of laparoscopy, there has been an increase in total laparoscopic hysterectomies all over the world in last decade. This study was conducted to analyse the technique and surgical outcome of total laparoscopic hysterectomy in tertiary care hospitalMethods: This is a retrospective cohort (observational) study, which included all patients who underwent Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) for benign conditions from January 2012 to December 2017 at the tertiary Care Hospital. The data so obtained was analysed for various parameters like indication for surgery, mean operating time, length of hospital stay, complications and conversion to abdominal route.Results: Total number of 2307 hysterectomies were performed over a period of 5 years. Of these, TLH were 270 (11.70%). Amongst those undergoing TLH, the mean age was 45±7.84 years. The most common indication for the surgery was fibroid uterus (38.14%), followed by dysfunctional uterine bleeding (28.88%), and adenomyosis (15.1%). The mean estimated blood loss was 106±4.34 ml. Hemorrhage (n = 2) and bladder injury (n = 4) were most common surgical complications.Conclusions: TLH is safe and effective procedure for most of the benign pelvic conditions. With adequate training TLH can be used more widely in tertiary care hospital and teaching institute.

Background: Hysterectomy is one of the commonest gynaecological operations performed in India. Traditional surgical treatments performed are abdominal hysterectomy and vaginal hysterectomy. Vaginal and laparoscopic procedures are considered “minimally invasive” surgical approaches because they do not require a large abdominal incision and, thus, typically are associated with shortened hospitalization and postoperative recovery times compared with open abdominal hysterectomy. With the aid of laparoscopic procedure, a potential abdominal hysterectomy can be converted to a vaginal one and a difficult vaginal hysterectomy can be converted into a fairly simple vaginal hysterectomy. Aim of the present study is to compare above methods of hysterectomy in terms of operating time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative hospital stay and complication, so as to provide best course of treatment to patient.Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in tertiary care centre. Four-year data was collected from January 2012 to December 2016. Cases of LAVH with benign gynaecological condition and up to 12 weeks size uterus, without any associated medical condition were selected in study randomly, and compare with cases of NDVH, TAH in terms of duration of operative procedure, blood loss during surgery, and postoperative hospital stay.Results: In present study we found that average duration of procedure in LAVH was 84.35 minute, which was maximum compare to other method. Estimated blood loss in LAVH was least as compare to NDVH and TAH it was maximum. The average hospital stays in LAVH and NDVH was less as compared to TAH.Conclusions: LAVH should be considered a better approach in view of the relatively less blood loss and intraoperative complication. Due to lack of large randomized controlled trials, the role of Laparoscopic hysterectomy is difficult to define.
