AbstractThe risks of induction must be carefully weighed against the risks of allowing the pregnancy to continue and not inducing labor. The aim of the study was to show labor and neonatal outcome of 335 deliveries inducted in 2004 at Institute of gynecology and obstetrics Clinical Center of Serbia. Inductions were performed with PGE2, PGE1 and Oxytocin. The best ripening effect was noted in PGE2 group. The average duration of labor was 8.6h in PGE1group, 5.9h in PGE2 group and 10.4h in OT group. Sixty eight labors finished with cesarean section (20%). Comparing duration of labor, percentage of emergency cesarean sections, incidence of fetal distress during the labor we suggest Dinoprostone, placed intracervically, as an agent of choice for induction of labor.

ABSTRACT Aim To assess the indications of emergency vs elective cesarean section in patients at Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi. Materials and methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 675 women who underwent cesarean section in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of the Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan over a period of 2 months. Sociodemographic features, type of cesarean, and their indications were recorded on a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23. Results A total of 675 women underwent cesarean section during the study period. The emergency cesarean section rate was 70.4%, while elective cesarean constituted of 29.6% cases. The most common indications for emergency cesarean were fetal distress (43.2%) followed by previous cesarean (19.2%) and failure to progress (9.3%), while that for elective cesarean were previous cesarean (41%) and malpresentation (24.5%). Conclusion Fetal distress and previous scar are the leading causes of cesarean section in our study. The improvement of maternal and child health facilities at basic health units, appropriate training of lady health workers and midwives, timely involvement of senior obstetrician, and formation of strict policies regarding cesarean section can have a profound effect in decreasing the rate of cesarean section. Clinical significance This study can prove to be of profound value in getting an insight into the continuously increasing rate of cesarean section. In developing countries like Pakistan, these increasing cesarean deliveries prove to be a burden on the already-constrained resources.

Postpartum Hysterectomy

Introduction. Postpartum hysterectomy means hysterectomy at least 6 weeks after delivery or cesarean section. It is usually performed in life-threatening situations. Incidence of postpartum hysterectomy varies from 0.02% to 0.3% of total number of deliveries. Objective. The aim of this study was to show and compare the incidence of postpartum hysterectomy after the cesarean section at the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Clinical Center of Serbia. We compared two five-year periods: the first period 1987-1982 and the second 2000-2004. Method. The retrospective study analyzed all patients treated at the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics who had had hysterectomy until six weeks after vaginal delivery or cesarean section. We analyzed the number of deliveries and the number of postpartum hysterectomies. Results. There were 50,467 deliveries (3,542 cesarean sections) and 91 postpartum hysterectomies (70 or 76.92% after cesarean section) in the first period. In the second period, there were 34,035 deliveries (7,105 cesarean sections) and 64 hysterectomies (39 or 60.94 % after cesarean section). The overall incidence of postpartum hysterectomy was 1.98/1,000 in the first and 1.88/1,000 deliveries in the second period. The incidence of post-cesarean hysterectomy decreased from 19.76/1,000 in the first period to 5.49/1,000 in the second period. Conclusion. It is crucial for each obstetrician to cautiously distinguish and reach an appropriate decision about the exact indications for cesarean delivery having in mind growing incidence of cesarean sections, which is the main risk factor for puerperal morbidity and mortality. .

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: Previous Cesarean section (CS) is one of the important causes of CS in subsequent pregnancies. Moreover, repeated cesarean sections increase maternal as well as perinatal morbidity and mortality. We conducted this study to find out outcome of pregnancies in women who had a history of previous CS.Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients of previous caesarean section for either maternal or fetal indications. The duration of study was 3 years. Total 215 patients were included in this study on the basis of a predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The indications, maternal and neonatal outcome were studied from medical records of the patients. Statistical analysis was done using SSPE 22.0 software.Results: Out of 215 studied cases majority of the patients belonged to age group of 21-30 years (75.35%) and were 2nd gravida (61.86%). 164 (76.28%) patients attended ANC OPD at least for 3 times during pregnancy. 73 (33.95%) patients had Hb of less than 10 gms while blood transfusion was required to be given in 11 (5.12%) patients. cesarean section was required in 172 (80%) patients out of which 166 (77.21%) patients had undergone emergency LSCS while in 6 (2.79%) patients elective LSCS was done. Scar tenderness was the most common indication for repeat cesarean section. There was no maternal mortality in any patients while there was 1 still birth and 1 neonatal death.Conclusions: Previous cesarean section is one of the important causes of CS in subsequent pregnancies hence decision of doing CS, especially primigravida, must be taken in accordance with strict guidelines and the practice of “cesarean section on demand” should be discouraged.

Objective: To analyze trends of CSs and evaluating them according to Robson’s Ten Groups Classification System (TGCS) at a leading government tertiary care hospital of South Punjab, Pakistan. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Nishtar Medical University Hospital, Multan Pakistan, from October 2019 to March 2020.The study population included a total of 167 women who underwent CS in the hospital during the specified study period. For each case, we collected data regarding maternal characteristics and pregnancy-related information. The dependent variable was Robson classification group. Results: Overall, mean age was 26.53+5.1 years. Majority of the women, 116 (69.5%) belonged to urban areas of residence, 74 (44.3%) gestational aged between 37-42 years while 108 (64.7%) had history of cesarean section. Most of the patients, 85 (50.9%) turned out to be from TGCS Group-10. Group-5 and Group-1 were the 2nd and 3rd most common group, accounted for 24 (14.4%) and 19 (11.4%) cases respectively. Previous cesarean section (20.4%) and fetal distress (19.8%) were found to be most common indications leading to cesarean section. Conclusion: As per Robson’s Ten-Group Classification, Group-10 and Group-5 were found to be the most contributing among deliveries done. Previous cesarean section and fetal distress were the most common indications of cesarean section. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.2.3823 How to cite this:Parveen R, Khakwani M, Naz A, Bhatti R.

The objective: was to study the level of abdominal delivery, its structure according to indications from the fetus, the effect of cesarean sections on perinatal losses in acute fetal hypoxia. Patients and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the Kyiv City Maternity Hospital №1 for the period from 2001 to 2011. The frequency of cesarean sections was studied and analyzed, the percentage of urgent and planned operations was established, the structure of cesarean sections according to the indications from the fetus was determined, the frequency of cesarean sections in acute hypoxia Fetus, perinatal losses were studied, an analysis of the dependence of perinatal losses on the frequency of cesarean sections during fetal distress was carried out. The analysis used the history of delivery of women giving birth, which culminated in cesarean section. Results. In analyzing the structure of cesarean sections, the fetal indications are as follows: fetal hypoxia, confirmed by objective methods, in the absence of conditions for urgent delivery per vias naturales; Pelvic presentation of the fetus at a mass of more than 3700 g; in vitro fertilization; incorrect position of the fetus after the outflow of amniotic fluid. The conclusion. An increase in the frequency of cesarean sections was noted. Attention is drawn to the positive trend of decreasing the frequency of urgent surgical interventions. The expected decrease in the number of perinatal losses with an increase in the level of caesarean sections due to fetal distress has not been confirmed. Key words: cesarean section, acute fetal hypoxia, cardiotocographic monitoring.

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.

Objective: To evaluate the indications of primary cesarean section in multipara and to assess the obstetric outcome including maternal, fetal morbidity and mortality, perinatal outcome. Study Design and Setting: It was a hospital based study of primary caesarean sections (CS) done on multiparous patients in duration of two years between January 1, 2016, and December 2017 at Jinnah medical college hospital Karachi. Methodology: Multiparous patients were those who had delivered through vaginal route one or more times (i.e. 28 weeks of gestation or above) or had 1–4children and grand-multiparous are those who had 5 or more children. All the cases included in the study were hospital based and cesarean section was decided by specialist. The procedure was performed by registrars and specialists. The selected patients were followed up till they were discharge from the ward with minimum hospital stay of three days. Data was compiled and results were carried out by SPSS version 23. Results: During the two years of study period, the number of total deliveries were 2064. The primary CS rate in multipara was 37.17%. These women have more likely to have an emergency cessarean sections compared to elective i.e. 85% and15%. The mean age of women was 29.5 years, booked cases were 72.5% and unbooked were 27.5%. Regarding indications for cesarean sections, non-progress of labour ranked first 25.5% followed by fetal distress 20%, pre eclampsia 12 % and ante partum hemorrhage 10.5% etc. Increase incidence of morbidity and mortality was seen in patients undergoing cesarean section due to different reasons. Conclusion: Primary caesarean sections in multipara comprise only a small percentage (37.17%) of total deliveries but were related to high maternal and fetal morbidity
