Filter by:To find the preferred method of labor induction (birth augmentation) for women with a history of one prior cesarean section scar and in grandmultiparas, the difference in time interval from augmentation to delivery will be measured between breast stimulation vs. low-dose oxytocin administration in this prospective single-center randomized controlled trial.
Although a rare event, uterine rupture during labour is one of the most serious obstetric complications because of the dramatic maternal-fetal consequences that can result. Identifying the risk factors associated with uterine rupture would enable gynecologists to provide patients with risks of uterine rupture in the event of attempted vaginal delivery. The aim of our study is to determine risks factors for uterine rupture during labour in patients with a previous cesarean delivery who have not given birth since and to assess the occurrence of maternal-fetal comply-cations compared to patients with a previous cesarean delivery without uterine rupture.
To date, several studies have already confirmed a positive effect of hysteroscopic metroplasty on reproductive outcomes in primary infertile women affected by uterine septum, the most common uterine malformation. Nevertheless, very few data are available about the risk of uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies after hysteroscopic septum resection (HSR). In order to shed about this element, we will retrospectively review the cases of uterine rupture in our setting in the last twenty years, identify which of them had previously undergone HSR, and evaluate the main clinical characteristics for each case.
Uterine rupture represents an uncommon event: it is is a life-threatening obstetric complication with high maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Indeed, uterine rupture may cause catastrophic maternal and fetal complications (uterine hemorrhage, hysterectomy with consequent fertility loss, maternal and fetal death or cerebral palsy) which are hardly acceptable within the context of a natural event such as birth. Uterine rupture can occur during pregnancy, early in labor or following a prolonged labor, most frequently near or at term and, rarely, during early to mid-pregnancy. Its prevalence ranges between 0.006% for women without previous cesarean section (CS) in the western countries, to 25% for women with obstructed labor in African countries. Pregnancy after myomectomy or CS, vaginal delivery after cesarean sections (VBACs) and vaginal delivery after myomectomy are potentially "at risk" of uterine rupture. Despite uterine rupture is widely considered a life-threatening condition, so far most of published data refer to case reports or very small case series. In this scenario, the "Uterine Rupture International Data Acquisition" study group would like to collect a large number of events, in order to identify the potential risk factors among different populations through a multivariate analysis.
This study has for objective to collect medical data from patients with uterine rupture at the childbirth.
Uterine rupture (UR) is a serious, life-threatening obstetric complication. UR is associated with an increased risk of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries compared to developed countries. UR occurs mainly as a consequence of poorly managed labour
The incidence of caesarean section has reached 15-20% in most developed countries. Encouraging vaginal birth after caesareans section (VBAC) has been considered a key component of a strategy to reduce the caesarean section rate. Most medical literature has focused on the efficacy of VBAC in reducing the caesarean section rate and the physical safety of successful VBAC. However, 30%-40% of these women fail to achieve a vaginal delivery. Little is known about how the uncertainty of labour outcome and a failed VBAC impact on the psychosocial function of these women. We propose to study a cohort of women with a prior caesarean section and presenting with a subsequent pregnancy for care. After consent and recruitment, these subjects will be randomly assigned to have a repeat caesarean section or VBAC. The medical outcomes, overall satisfaction of the subjects with the care they received, and the short-term psychosocial function of these subjects will be studied. The result of this study will provide important information that would be useful in assisting women to decide the mode of delivery after a prior caesarean section.
