IntroductionLe but de cette étude était de déterminer les facteurs influençant le pronostic de l'accouchement du deuxième jumeau.MéthodesL'étude était rétrospective et a porté sur tous les cas d'accouchements gémellaires enregistrés à la maternité du Centre de Santé de Référence de la commune V du District de Bamako du 1erJanvier 2007 au 31 Décembre 2016 soit sur une période de dix ans.RésultatsNous avons enregistré 34.899 accouchements dont 1374 accouchements gémellaires soit une fréquence de 2,54%; près de 15% étaient des primipares; 39,16% étaient référées; 69,10% et 15,5% autres sans aucun suivi prénatal. Les facteurs influençant négativement pronostic du deuxième jumeau étaient: un délai ≥ 15minutes entre les jumeaux, le recours tardif à la césarienne, la non qualification de l'accoucheur, la grossesse monochoréale, le faible poids de naissance. Par contre la parité, la réalisation de manœuvres obstétricales n'avaient aucune influence sur le pronostic du deuxième jumeau.ConclusionLe pronostic du deuxième jumeau est fortement influencé par un délai de naissance de plus de 15 minutes entre les jumeaux, les autres facteurs agissant comme des cofacteurs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of free caesarean section on maternal-fetal prognosis. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative analytical study of one year of non-free caesarean section and three years of free with retrospective data collection.

Introduction: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a public health issue. An infection is said to be associated with the care if it occurs during or after the care of a patient, and if it was neither present nor incubation at the beginning of the care. Objective: The purpose of this work was to study the bacteriology of infections associated with obstetric care in the gynecology-obstetrics department of CHU Gabriel Touré. Patients and Methods: This is an epidemiological, descriptive, analytical study conducted in the gynecology-obstetrics department of the CHU Gabriel Touré, from April 11 th , 2016 to August 29 th , 2016 (5 months). Data collection focused on the clinical and laboratory characteristics of healthcare-associated infections in patients during their hospitalization. Included in the study were any patients hospitalized in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department who agreed to participate in the study. The criteria used to diagnose the associated infection were those of the Atlanta CDC. Operative wound monitoring was done up to the 30th postoperative day. Results: We have recorded 200 patients, out of whom 138 were operated on and 23 cases of bacterial infection associated with care (11.50%). The average age of the patients was 32.52 years ± 13.36 years against 29.36 years ± 10.28 years for the patients who did not present the infection. Seven point five percent of the evacuated patients had an infection associated with care. The most common types of infection were surgical site infection (60.86%), urinary tract infection (26.08%), endometritis and sepsis How to cite this paper: Bocoum, A., Fané, with 13.04% each. The isolated organisms were all resistant to Amoxicillin, to Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid (88.88%) and to Ciprofloxacin (77.77%). The average duration of hospitalization for patients who developed the infection was 14.70 days. The lethality was 1.50%. The average cost of management of patients who developed the surgical site infection was 119,837 FCFA. Conclusion: The bacterial infections associated with the care remain frequent in our service and dominated by the infections of the operating site. Isolated organisms were all resistant to amoxicillin in 88.88% case ciprofloxacin. 20%15% 35% 10% 5% 15% Acinetobacter baumannii Enterococcus faecalis Escherichia coli Klebsiela pneumoniae Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staphylococcus aureus 39.13% 17.4% 17.4% Escherichia coli Acinetobacter baumannii Enterococcus faecalisA.

Background: Multi-scar uterus is a uterus with two or more scars due to surgery or trauma. Objective: The aim was to compare the maternal and fetal prognosis of emergency C-sections of bi-scar uteruses to those of uteruses with at least 3 scars at the Nianankoro Fomba Hospital in Segou. Materials and Methods: It was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study with prospective data collection over a 24-month period from March 20, 2018, to March 20, 2020. Results: In 2 years, we collected 103 emergency C-sections for multi-scar uterus out of 1198 C-sections with a frequency of 8.6%. The age group of 20 to 35 years was the most represented with 86.4%. The bi-scar uteruses were the most frequent with 77.7%. In 71.8% of cases, the C-section was performed during the latent phase of labor. The C-section was performed under loco-regional anesthesia in 89.3% of cases. Difficulties in hemostasis and bladder injury were the most frequent intraoperative accidents. Surgical site infection was the main postoperative complication. No
