Pelvic hematomas are common occurring in delivering the baby but spontaneous broad ligament hematoma following vaginal delivery is rarely seen and less than 100 cases are reported in literature. This article reports a rare case of broad ligament hematoma following vacuum delivery in 22 years Para1 lady with history of postpartum collapse 3 hours after delivery.
Paratubal cysts are generally small but there are rare cases of large paratubal cyst and this case is one of them. Here we report a case of a young female with complains of abdominal fullness since 3 months. On examination, a huge mass (25 x 25 cm) extending from symphysis pubis upto xiphisternum was noted. Ultrasongraphy showed a cystic mass of 27 x 27 cm. Intraoperatively, the cyst was paratubal. It was drained with the help of veress needle and laparoscopic cystectomy was done. A large adnexal cyst extending above umbilicus is traditionally managed by laparotomy. But with the advent of laparoscopy, even a huge cyst can be managed by laparoscopy.
Introduction: Infertility is a global health issue and a socially destabilizing condition for couples with several stigmas including medical, social, psychological burdens and a marital disharmony. The aim was to study the outcome of laparoscopy in infertile females attending Nobel Medical College as laparoscopy is considered as a gold standard in investigation and treatment of infertility. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology over a period of May 2018-April 2020, where the outcomes of laparoscopy in infertile females were studied. All the patients with abnormal HSG, unexplained infertility and adnexal mass in the background of infertility were enrolled. Results: Of the 100 infertile patients who underwent laparoscopy, 62 (62%) had evidence of tubal disease as documented by unilateral or bilateral block, 63 (63%) had peritubal adhesions and hydrosalpinx in 15 (15%). Associated pelvic pathology like endometriosis in 50 (50%) in the form of cyst, adhesions and complete and partial obliteration of Pouch of Douglas. Conclusion: Laparoscopy is definitely an effective diagnostic tool of tubal and pelvic pathology. Laparoscopy is recommended for all infertile females with suspected tubal factor and moreover it provides opportunity to correct the condition in possible cases.
Introduction: Acute kidney injury is a rare complication of pregnancy and is associated with high maternal morbidity and mortality. Obstetric factors associated with it are preeclampsia/eclampsia, sepsis, hemorrhage and dehydration. Here, we aim to find out the prevalence of complete recovery of renal function among obstetric patients with acute kidney injury. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary care hospital from 1st July 2020 to 30th June 2021 where obstetric patients who had developed acute kidney injury were included and followed till 6 weeks of diagnosis. Ethical approvalwas obtained from Institutional Review Committee of Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital (IRC- NMCTH 437/2020). The convenience sampling method was used. Data entry and analysis were done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Results: Out of total 66 obstetric patients with acute kidney injury, 45 (68.2%) (57-79.3 at 95% Confidence Interval) had complete recovery of renal function. Rate of renal function recovery in Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 acute kidney injury were 19 (90%), 19 (86%) and 7 (58%) respectively. The most common causes of acute kidney injury were Preeclampsia/eclampsia 18 (40%), sepsis 23 (28.8%) and hemorrhage 10 (22.2%). Conclusions: The prevalence of complete recovery in obstetric patients with acute kidney injury was similar to findings from other studies done in similar settings.
Aims: To determine the clinical outcome of rheumatic heart disease in pregnancy. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study from April 2019 to April 2021 in Nobel Medical College, Biratnagar, Nepal. Feto-maternal variables were taken for their health status. Data presented in table with frequency. Results: Out of 13013 deliveries in a year, 49 had cardiac disease (0.37%) and 38 had rheumatic heart disease (0.29%) over 28 weeks of gestation; 95% (n=36) had mitral valve involvement; 12 were primigravida and 7 preterm at the time of delivery. Half of them underwent caesarean section for various indications. Most common maternal complications were cardiac failure, cardiac arrythmia, admission to ICU, obstetric complications, including maternal mortality in 5.2% (n=2) cases. Low birth was in 29% (n=11) of cases, and 34% (n=13) of them needed NICU care at the time of delivery. There was history of rheumatic fever in 9 cases (24%). Conclusions: Rheumatic heart disease is the commonest diagnosis among heart disease in pregnancy and adverse event can be minimized by multidisciplinary intervention
