Background:The study of intraoperative difculties in extraction of baby in previous cesarean section
Method:This is a tertiary centre based prospective observational study conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, at our tertiary
health Care hospital between the study period October 2018-september 2020.A total 1200 cases of patients with previous cesarean section were
studied . They are divided into number of previous scar and the intraoperative surgical difculty encountered by the surgeon in delivering the baby
based on the consequences of scar from previous cesarean section.
Results: The incidence of repeat cesarean section being 9.4%, among which only of 38% cases were encountered with difculties in cesarean
section by the surgeons in the institute. Among which 26.3% cases were encountered with Adhesions,4.2% with difculty in delivery of baby,
1.5% cases needed assistance by senior surgeon in delivering baby and 6% among that had poor perinatal outcome.
Conclusions: The common clinical entity of “previous cesarean section” in subsequent pregnancies, giving a high risk pregnancy status to the
reference pregnancy. The risks associated with repeat cesarean section can be reduced by many measures including-vigorous ANC surveillance to
reduce the risk of primary CS, intervention by operative vaginal delivery whenever needed, giving trial of labor in cesarean section(TOLAC) with
skilled monitoring, counselling of patients regarding perineal exercises in pregnancy. Most complications will be recognized at the time of
operation and easily corrected either by the operating surgeon or by seeking assistance from other specialties
