INTRODUCTIONInstitutional deliveries have increased all over the country, thereby providing opportunities for quality postpartum family planning services. In this period, women are highly receptive and motivated to accept family planning methods. Ideally birth to birth interval is 36 months; but 61% of births in our country are shorter then recommended interval. 27% of births occur within 24 months, 34% births between 24 to 35 months after a previous birth. In the first postpartum year, 65% of women have an unmet need for family planning in our country. In this period only 26% of women are using any method of family planning. So healthy spacing of pregnancy must be achieved by postpartum family planning methods.1 Fear of complications and lack of information are the common problems for unmet need. Postpartum insertion of IUCD for spacing and limiting birth is very safe and effective approach, should be implemented in all deliveries ideally.According to Medical Eligibility Criteria of WHO, an IUCD can be inserted within 48 hours postpartum or after 6 weeks following birth. Generally, it is not used between 48 hours to six weeks postpartum as there is increased chances of expulsion and infection (WHO category 3) as ABSTRACT Background: Institutional deliveries have increased all over the country, thereby providing opportunities for quality postpartum family planning services. In this period, women are highly receptive to accept family planning methods. Objective of this study was to evaluate CuT Multiload 375, in terms of acceptance, safety, efficacy, continuation rate, removal rate and to find out PPIUCD complications e.g. bleeding irregularities, perforation, expulsion and discontinuation due to various reasons. Methods: Prospective analytical study was conducted from February 2016 to June 2016 in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, at RNT Medical College, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India.100 patients in each vaginal and cesarean group were selected randomly. Multiload 375 was inserted after obtaining written consent. Results: Missing threads were detected more in cesarean group (22.8%) than vaginal group (12.9%). Cumulative expulsion rate was 15.2% in vaginal group and 10.8% in cesarean group. Heavy Bleeding PV with or without the pain was the main reason for removal of CuT in both the groups. Removal rate for vaginal and cesarean group was 15.2% and 10.8% respectively. Conclusions: PPIUCD is very effective, safe and reversible contraceptive method which provides contraceptive effect soon after birth. Although there is relatively high incidence of expulsions and removal in the both group still the continuation rate was 69.4% in vaginal group and 78% in cesarean group.

Background: Hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed procedures in gynaecological surgery. The most common indication is benign uterine disease. As the time is passing trend is towards those approaches which are minimally invasive, less painful, have less complications, less blood loss and are more cosmetic. Thus, total laparoscopic hysterectomy has gained popularity. The purpose of this study was to compare the 2 different routes of hysterectomy.Methods: In this prospective randomized observational study patients undergoing both the types of hysterectomy, that is, TAH (total abdominal hysterectomy) and TLH (total laparoscopic hysterectomy) during 2 year period at Rajkiya Pannadhay Mahila Chikitsalaya RNT medical college Udaipur were included in the study. 50 women (25 in each group) aged between 31-72 years were included into the study.Results: We observed that duration of surgery was found to be longer in TLH than TAH (112.56±19.45 min versus 57.9±19.26 min, P<0.001 (HS)). The length of hospital stay was less in TLH than TLH (p=0.0001) and the amount of intra-operative blood loss were also less in TLH than TAH (163.60±44.15 versus 313.20±123.48 ml, p<0.001). TLH group had early ambulation compared to TAH group (2.24±0.44 day versus 3.12 ±0.33 day, p<0.001), difference on the basis of length of hospital stay was highly significant which was shorter in TLH than TAH (4.40±1.15 versus 10.32±8.19 days, respectively; p<0.001). In current study patient satisfaction level was found highly significant between TLH and TAH (100% versus 56%, p<0.001).Conclusions: TLH is a safe and effective method of doing hysterectomy. The present study concluded that TLH is associated with less hospital stay, less blood loss, less use of analgesics, early ambulation, early start of oral feed, and better patient satisfaction.

Background: The admission cardiotocography (CTG) in high-risk obstetrics patients for continuous monitoring of fetal heart rate (FHR) has become crucial in the modern obstetric practice. It is not only a good screening and inexpensive test but also non-invasive, easily performed and interpreted. Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted in department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Pannadhay Rajkiya Mahila Chikitsalaya at RNT medical college, Udaipur from April 2022 to September 2022. A total of 100 high risk obstetrics patients were subjected to cardiotocography (CTG). The Women eligible for the study were those who had gestational age ≥32 weeks with cephalic presentation in first stage of labour with singleton fetus in vertex presentation and categorised as high-risk during the time of admission. Results: A total of 100 high risk obstetric patients were subjected to CTG. Out of these common high-risk factors in our study consisted of postdated pregnancy (21%) followed by pre-eclampsia (19%), oligohydramnios (16%) cord around neck (13%). Majority of them (47%) fall under 20-25 years and constituted by primigravida (59%).  CTG was reactive in (65%), non-reactive in 25% of cases and 10% patients had suspicious tracings. The incidence of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, fetal distress and APGAR score less than 7 was significantly higher with suspicious and nonreactive CTG than reactive CTG. Conclusions: CTG test is a simple, non-invasive screening test should be used in high risk pregnancy as admission test. The heavy load of constant monitoring and adverse perinatal outcome can be reduced by CTG monitoring in high-risk obstetrics patients.
