a nulliparous non-descript mare was presented with a complaint of dystocia. the mare was recumbent and physical examination revealed that the animal was in shock. there was no straining and foetal forelimbs were visible outside the vulva. the foetus was dead as there was no pedal reflex. vaginal examination revealed anterior presentation with dorso-sacral position and rigid lateral head deviati...

In a series of 2,175 patients delivered by caesarean section a dehiscence of the abdominal wound occurred in 50. Wound dehiscence was eight times more common with a vertical incision than with a low transverse incision of the abdominal wall; with the vertical incision the incidence of partial and complete dehisence was 2.94% and with the low transverse incision no complete dehiscence occurred a...

INTRODUCTION According to national organisations, obstetric services should be able to initiate a caesarean delivery within 30 minutes of the decision to operate. This is uniquely challenging in a small, rural hospital. In 2001, the authors' hospital was unable to meet this guideline reliably. This project demonstrates how we improved our emergency caesarean delivery response time. METHODS Th...

There are two types of Caesarean section (CS). An important distinction lies in the type of incision made on the uterus, apart from the incision on the skin. According to type of incision, these two types includes the classical Caesarean section (CS) and lower uterine segment section (LSCS).The classical Caesarean section involves a longitudinal incision in upper uterine segment which allows a ...

The choice of the type of abdominal incision performed in caesarean delivery is made chiefly on the basis of the individual surgeon's experience and preference. A general consensus on the most appropriate surgical technique has not yet been reached. The aim of this systematic review of the literature is to compare the two most commonly used transverse abdominal incisions for caesarean delivery,...

Scar endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissues with glands in previous incision or scar. Its overall estimated incidence after post-caesarean and post-hysterectomy 0.03-0.4% 1.08-2%, respectively. The patient presents non-specific symptoms such as cyclical abdominal pain at site a surgical an lump increment size, which tender. diagnosis made only excision confirmation by histopatholo...

Caesarean section in a severely kyphotic patient presents with unique challenges. We report a case of obstructed labor in case of a pregnant lady with severe kyphosis of spine that was managed by caesarean section. Lateral recumbent position with adequate assistance and paramedian or vertical skin incision was used and found to provide good exposure. Baby was delivered by lower segment uterine ...

A nulliparous non-descript mare was presented with a complaint of dystocia. The mare was recumbent and physical examination revealed that the animal was in shock. There was no straining and foetal forelimbs were visible outside the vulva. The foetus was dead as there was no pedal reflex. Vaginal examination revealed anterior presentation with dorso-sacral position and rigid lateral head deviati...

Background: Caesarean section (C-section) is the most common surgery among women worldwide, and the global rate of this surgical procedure has been continuously rising. Hence, it is significantly crucial to develop and apply highly effective and safe caesarean section techniques. In this review study, we aimed at assessing the safety and effectiveness of the Joel-Cohen-based technique and co...
