Intrathecal (IT) opioids are commonly administered with local anesthetic during spinal anesthesia for post-Cesarean delivery analgesia. Traditionally, IT morphine has been used but the use of IT hydromorphone is growing. A previous study has shown that the effective dose for postoperative analgesia in 90% patients (ED90) for both IT hydromorphone and IT morphine (NCT02009722). These doses were found to be 75 mcg for hydromorphone and 150 mcg for morphine. The current proposed study would compare the duration of analgesia of IT morphine vs IT hydromorphone after elective cesarean delivery. Additionally, the investigators will compare each drug with respect the incidence of nausea and pruritus.
Long-term results after obstetric anal sphincter tears (AST) is poor. The investigators aim to improve the long-term outcome after AST in terms of symptoms of anal incontinence. A prospective study at, Malmö University Hospital. Twenty-six women with at least grade 3B AST were classified and sutured in a systematic way, including separate suturing of the internal and external sphincter muscles with monofilament absorbable sutures. The principal outcome was a difference in anal incontinence score, based on six questions, between the study group and two control groups (women with prior AST [n = 180] and primiparous women delivered vaginally without AST [n = 100]).
This study compares methods of closure for Pfannenstiel incisions commonly used during gynecological and obstetrical surgery. Patients are assigned to closure by either surgical staples or a buried suture. Information is collected on the day of surgery, post-operative day two and at the six-week follow up visit. The amount of pain and cosmetic result are compared. Infection rates will also be monitored for the two groups. The study hypothesis is as follows: subcuticular (buried) sutures as compared to surgical staples lead to decreased post-operative pain and improved cosmetic result. Infection rates are similar for both groups.
