in this study, we demonstrate the appearance of anatomic defects of the uterine cavity on hsg after cesarian section. we define different shapes such as thin linear defect, focal saccular outpouching, unilateral or bilateral diverticula (dog-ear like) and fistula and different locations such as the uterine body, lower uterine segment, uterine isthmus and the upper endocervical canal. cesarean s...

A careful management of hepatic capsular rupture, with massive hemoperitoneum which occurred 14 hours after an emergency cesarean section at 36 weeks of gestation, is meticulously reported. The grade of hepatic involvement varies from minor capsular laceration to extensive parenchymal rupture. Our management involved a combination of surgical interventions and aggressive supportive care. The pa...

Mitral valve stenosis (MS) associated with rheumatic disease no longer represents a major heart problem during the perinatal period in Japan. Here we present a case of acute heart failure due to MS after emergency cesarean section (CS). The patient was transferred due to the development of fetal distress at 36 weeks gestation and underwent an emergency CS under general anesthesia. She developed...

BACKGROUND General and regional anesthesia are the two main techniques used in cesarean section. Regional anesthesia is preferred, but under certain circumstances, such as by patient request and in patients with back deformities, general anesthesia is the only option. Commonly used induction agents include thiopental, ketamine, and propofol, depending on availability and the maternal clinical c...

only marginally increased among women undergoing a trial of labor2 than among those undergrant an elective repeat cesarean section (0.4% vs 0.2% OR=2.1), with a significant decrease in need for transfusion (OR=0.57) or hysterectomy (OR=0.39), has led authorities to encourage vaginal birth after cesarean3. A group of investigators concluded4 that among women with a previously scarred uterus, ind...

Mitral regurgitation is the second most common valvular heart disease in parturients with significant effects on the mother and the neonate especially after delivery. Regional anesthesia is preferred over general anesthesia for cesarean section due to decreased maternal mortality [1]. However, general anesthesia might be indicated where regional anesthesia is contraindicated or fails or when th...

OBJECTIVE To increase discriminatory accuracy (DA) for emergency cesarean sections (ECSs). STUDY DESIGN We prospectively collected data on and studied all 6,157 births occurring in 2014 at four public hospitals located in three different autonomous communities of Spain.
