Clinical examination and ultrasonography has a sensitivity of 8.1 and 2%, respectively. Laparoscopy helps in detecting many causes of CPP which clinical methods and ultrasonography fail to identify. This enforces the position of laparoscopy as a gold standard in evaluation of this condition.
Bladder exstrophy is an unusual congenital anomaly. Patients becoming pregnant with such anomaly after surgical repair are even rarer. The present case reports a lower segment Caesarean section delivery of a living healthy baby in a woman who had been operated on for bladder exstrophy at the age of 18 years. This is the first case of this type seen in our institution in 35 years.
This prospective study was carried out at a tertiary care hospital on 50 women with missed abortion up to 13 weeks who were given 600 mug misoprostol sublingually every 3 h for a maximum of three doses. Success rate was 86% (up to 72 h), and the acceptability of the method was 69.7%. Sublingual misoprostol is a non-invasive, effective and safe medical method for completion of abortion in missed abortion.
A 20-year-old primigravida initially diagnosed at 28 weeks to have superfetation in a case of a bicornuate uterus was subsequently found to have uterus pseudo didelphys during a cesarean section at 35 weeks. This type of uterine anomaly with twin gestation has been previously reported in five case reports, but superfetation with such müllerian abnormality has not been previously described.
Secondary postpartum haemorrhage after Caesarean section due to non-union of the uterine incision is an unusual complication. Two women who had had lower segment Caesarean section for placenta praevia presented after 2 and 3 weeks respectively with shock due to massive postpartum haemorrhage. The uterine scars had not healed in both of these women who were managed by emergency subtotal hysterectomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
