Our work is summarized in a prospective comparative study, aimed at evaluating the existence or not of a difference between the administration of oxytocin just before the hysterotomy in a cesarean section and its administration after fetal extraction. We used a set of criteria to include patients in our study. This study took place over a period of one year (2020) in the Mother and Child regional center, in Meknes Imperial city, Morocco, involving a total number of 364 patients. With a group A comprising 176 patients 48% (176/364) who received oxytocin just before the hysterotomy and a group B of 188 patients 52% (188/364) who received it classically after fetal extraction. The difference was very significant as detailed in the article. Conclusion: the very convincing results of our study and the difference between the two groups, allowed us to demonstrate the effectiveness of our process and to endorse its use in our routine practice, with the perspective of conducting a prospective randomized study on a larger series.展开更多

The image features and accuracy of the diagnosis were observed.Results: after examination, the distance between the scar site and the internal cervical of the test group was closer than that of the control group, and the proportion of the posterior uterus in the test group was much higher than that in the control group. At the same time, there was no significant difference in the size of uterus, endometrial thickness, and follicular diameter between the two groups of parturients after the color ultrasound examination.Conclusion: for the poor healing uterus incision scar parts after cesarean section. The combination of vaginal and abdominal color Doppler ultrasonography has high accuracy and has a certain guiding role in clinical treatment. It can be widely applied in clinic.展开更多

Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data from 32 patients with post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum over three recent years. In all patients, transvaginal 3D ultrasound was used to measure the size of the uterine diverticulum and the thickness of the lower uterine segment (LUS) and myometrium. Patients with a LUS with a myometrial thickness under 4 mm underwent resection and repair surgery;those with a LUS with a myometrial thickness over 4 mm underwent hysteroscopic resection. The postoperative sonograms were compared with preoperative images to evaluate the efficacy of various treatments. Results: The mean length, width and depth of the uterine diverticula were 18.30 ± 2.80 mm, 9.14 ± 3.20 mm and 11.49 ± 2.71 mm, respectively. The average LUS myometrial thickness was 3.40 ± 0.80 mm (with a range of 1.6 mm - 6.3 mm). After surgery, two patients’ sonograms still showed diverticula at the post-cesarean section scar, measuring 6 mm × 7 mm × 6 mm and 6 mm × 8 mm × 4 mm. There were significant differences in the size of uterine diverticula between preoperative and postoperative sonograms (P < 0.05) and the effective rate of surgery was 93.75% (30/32). Conclusions: Transvaginal 3D ultrasound is an accurate method for detecting post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum and is helpful for assessing surgical options and prognosis. The LUS myometrial thickness, which is considered as an optional index of post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum, should be measured routinely.展开更多

Previously reported patients with uterine incarceration have different symptoms. Rarely, asymptomatic cases persist into the third trimester of pregnancy. In fact, the patients with uterine incarceration can be asymptomatic and normally carry their fetuses to the term because it mainly changes the cervix, which does not affect fetal growth in utero directly. Additionally, cesarean section is both a treatment and a direct method to clarify the diagnosis again, and low-molecular-heparin anticoagulant therapy should be considered immediately after surgery. Here, we present two cases clarifying that patients with uterine incarceration can be pregnant without any discomfort during pregnancy and provide a successful treatment plan.展开更多

Methods Nine patients with uterine diverticulum after cesarean were retrospectively analyzed, who have received IVF-ET treatment. Clinical pregnancy rate and embryo implantation rate were measured. Results There were 9 infertility patients in all, 7 cases with tubal factor, 2 with unexplained factor; 3 cases were associated with prolonged menstruation period, including 1 patient was misdiagnosed as dysfunctioned uterine bleeding. There were a total of 16 transplantation cycles, including14 fresh cycles and 2 thawing cycles. Each cycle had at least one high-quality embryo available for transfer. Five cases were difficult to transfer. Two were clinical pregnancie, the implantation rate was 5.13% （2/39）. Conclusion In this study, 14 fresh cycles all had high-quality embryo transfer, uterine diverticulum had no effect on the development of ovums and the formation of high- quality embryos. But forming uterine diverticulum after cesarean section may lead to secondary infertility or patients with prolonged menstruation period, it also may lead it difficult to transfer during the treatment of IVF-ET and affect embryo implantation. So the patients with a history of cesarean section shall receive ultrasonic examination or hysteroscopy routinely before IVF treatment. If necessary surgical treatment is required.展开更多

For these patients a cesarean section can be life threatening due to uncontrolled massive hemorrhage. Prevention and control of massive blood loss utilizing a multidisciplinary approach can be lifesaving. We present a case report of a 33 years old pregnant woman at 35 weeks of gestation diagnosed with an extensive uterine arteriovenous malformation and innumerable tortuous vessels who was scheduled for a cesarean section. Her previous vaginal delivery was complicated by significant bleeding requiring uterine artery embolization. Pre-operative prophylactic aortic and right iliac artery balloon occlusion catheters were placed under monitored anesthesia care. The extracorporeal life support team was available to initiate veno-venous or arteriovenous bypass. Cesarean section was performed with careful identification of the uterine vessels under ultrasound guidance and ultimately the bleeding was well controlled. Postoperatively, the patient underwent uterine artery embolization. It is our strong belief that although we did not face a major disaster during this cesarean section, our comprehensive plan and multi-disciplinary approach were essential to ensuring the safety of the parturient and newborn.展开更多
