This study aimed to estimate the proportion of the antenatal, intrapartum and perinatal complications outcomes related to grand multiparity.\u0000Methods: This is a prospective observational study conducted during a period of 1 year from 2021 to 2022 in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Himalayan hospital, Jollygrant, Dehra Dun, Uttarakhand. 60 grand multiparous patients who delivered during this period was analysed. Mothers with fetus/neonates were assessed for antenatal and obstetrical complications, mode of delivery and post-partum complications.\u0000Results: During the study period, majority of women were in age group 26-30 years (45%), from plain areas (60%), and hilly areas (40%), 85% patients delivered vaginally, while 15 patients delivered by lower segment caesarean section. The main indication of C section was previous 2 LSCS. Maternal complications noted were anemia (30%), preterm labour (23.3%), malpresentation (1.7%) and placenta previa was seen in 3.3% women. Atonic PPH was noted in 10% cases. In present study there was no maternal death reported among grand multipara. 61 babies were born, in which 1.6% neonates were still born. There were no perinatal deaths. 34.45% newborns were born with low birth weight.\u0000Conclusions: Grand-multiparity is an obstetric risk factor. Proper antenatal care, education, properly timed caesarean section in selected cases would reduce the grand-multiparity associated adverse pregnancy outcomes.","PeriodicalId":14225,"journal":{"name":"International journal of reproduction, contraception, obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"16 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140372232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Definitive diagnosis was histopathological examination. Treatment was achieved with surgical excision in all patients, and 3 are preceded by hormonal treatment. Medical treatment can only yield symptomatic relief in pain till the hormone effect lasts. Treatment of choice is wide excision that is excision of 1 cm tissue around the mass.

This study aimed to assess the mode of delivery outcomes of labour in women who had received effective epidural analgesia.\u0000Methods: After ethical approval, this quasi-experimental study was carried out in Dhaka medical college hospital for one year, from July 2021 to June 2022. A total of 100 admitted pregnant women (37 weeks to 41 weeks) in the labour ward were included in the study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Among them, 50 women were in group A (with epidural analgesia), and the other 50 were in group B (without epidural analgesia).

Normal vaginal delivery rate (86% vs. 90%), instrumental delivery rate (10% vs. 6%), and caesarean section rate (4% vs. 4%) were not significantly different in both groups.

This prospective interventional study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the compression of myometrium and occlusion of uterine artery by COMOC-MG suture technique in managing atonic PPH.\u0000Methods: A prospective study was conducted at GK general hospital, Bhuj, Gujarat, from December 2020 to July 2022. The study enrolled 100 pregnant women without identified risk factors undergoing complicated caesarean or vaginal deliveries. The COMOC-MG suture technique was employed for the study group, while the control group received standard atonic PPH management. Outcomes included success rates, blood transfusion needs, complications, and mortality.\u0000Results: The study group (n=50) demonstrated comparable demographic characteristics to the control group. Notably, the COMOC-MG group exhibited higher success rates in normal (100%) and cesarean deliveries (95.3%) compared to the control group (72.7% and 60.7%, respectively). Lower blood transfusion needs (34% vs. 48%) and fewer complications were observed in the COMOC-MG group. Hemoglobin (Hb) levels on post-partum day 1 showed no significant difference.\u0000Conclusions: The study suggests that COMOC-MG suture technique is effective in managing atonic PPH, showing superior success rates and potentially reducing blood transfusion needs. While further research, including larger trials, is warranted, these findings underscore promise of COMOC-MG as an innovative intervention in obstetric care, offering potential benefits in maternal outcomes. The observed safety profile supports its consideration in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":14225,"journal":{"name":"International journal of reproduction, contraception, obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"71 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140371316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shaving and bowel resection are associated with comparable recurrence rates.
