BACKGROUND To compare neonatal mortality and neurodevelopmental outcomes at two years of age in very low birth weight infants (≤1500 g) born by cesarean with those by vaginal delivery. METHODS In this retrospective, case-control study, we evaluated neonatal mortality, medical conditions and neurodevelopmental outcomes at two years of corrected age in 710 very low birth weight (VLBW) infants b...

Background: Vaginal hysterectomies have been associated with difficulties in patients who have had cesarean sections prior to such hysterectomies. However, the Purohit technique may obviate the problems and make it easier to perform these operations. Objectives: This research tested an approach designed to facilitate vaginal hysterectomy in patients with previous cesarean sections in the absenc...
