Xanthogranulomatous salpingo-oophoritis is an extremely rare entity. The clinical features are similar to the common benign and malignant adnexal diseases, making it difficult to diagnose. Here we present a case of pelvic mass with high level of tumor markers who was operated with suspicion of adnexal tumor. Histopathology revealed it to be a case of xanthogranulomatous salpingo-oophoritis.
Introduction: Cesarean sectionis on the rising trend,so WHO proposes that health care facilities uses the Robson's 10 group classification system to audit their Cesarean section rates. This classification will helpto developstrategies to reduce these rates.
Objective: The objective of this study was to classify the women coming for delivery into the 10 Robson’s group,to interpret the 10 group classification and to know the highest rate of cesarean section in the group.
Methodology: This was a hospital basedcross sectional study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, for a period of 6months. All women undergoing deliverywere recruited for study .Based onthe patient’s obstetric parameters, women were assigned to one of 10 groups as per Robson’s 10-group classification system.The relative size of each group, the cesarean section rate in each group, and the absolute and relative contributions to the overall cesarean section rate was then reported.
Results: During the study period, the overall Cesarean Section rate was 33.40%.Highest contribution was by Robson's Group 2(Nulliparous, single cephalic, ≥ 37 weeks, induced or CS before labor(9.84%) followed by Group 1(Nulliparous, single cephalic, ≥ 37 weeks, in spontaneous labor)(7.73%) and Group 5(Previous CS, single cephalic, ≥ 37 weeks) (5.75%). Least contribution was by Groups 8(All multiple pregnancies (including previous CS)and 9[All abnormal lies (including previous CS)]0.20% and 0.27% respectively. All women in group 9(all abnormal lies including previous CS)had 100% Cesarean rate.
Conclusions: With reductions in the primary cesarean section rates and encouragingpatients forVBACcould reduce the contribution of Robson's groups towards the absolute Cesarean Section rates.
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.
