Caesarean delivery is preferred to vaginal delivery in the breech presentation because it is safer. In this case report, we aimed to present femur fractures associated with cesarean section as a rare complication of breech presentation. A 2670g male infant was delivered at 36 weeks by emergency cesarean section for breech presentation. On the third day after the birth, he was admitted to our hospital with a preliminary diagnosis of cellulitis because of swelling in the right leg. The examination revealed a fracture of the right femur. A simple immobilization of the limb in extension led to a complete healing of the fracture without sequelae. Caesarean delivery reduces the risk of traumatic injury of the newborn compared to vaginal delivery, but does not eliminate this possible accidental complication.

Endometriosis is a condition where the functional and morphological endometrial gland and stromal structure are found outside the uterus. It occurs most often in pelvis, peritoneum, ovaries, posterior cul-desac and uterosacral ligaments. Retrograd menstruation, metaplasia, lymphatic and hematogenous outspread, mechanical transplantations in insicional scars during the operations and some else theories are introduced for pathogenesis. Subcutaneous mass, swelling, cyclic pains associated with menstruation, tenderness are likely clinical symptom and signs. Magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, ultrasound, fine needle aspiration biopsy are used in diagnosis. Total excision is the considered management of the scar endometriosis. Recurrens is rarely occurs after total excision. Here we present the case of 33 years old woman who had a cyclic painful mass on her p

Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency is an uncommon bleeding disorder with an estimated incidence of 1/300.000-1/500.000. Congenital Factor VII deficiency is an otosomal recessively inherited and 0.5% of all congenital coagulation disorders. Factor 7 deficiency is the fourth of all congenital factor deficiencies in the Factor 8, Factor 9, and lack of the Von Willebrand Factor. It affects men and women in the same proportions. Although there is no correlation between FVII level and bleeding risk. An important part of the patients are asymptomatic until advanced age, often by chance, is investigating the bleeding parameters, only PT’s long, APTT is normal due to the received diagnosis. Fresh frozen plasma (FFP), FVII, prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC), plasma-derived factor VII (pdFVII); recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) are used for prophylaxis or treatment of bleeding. In this case, a pregnant woman at term which her first pregnancy was resulting in vaginal childbirth without any problem, but factor 7 deficiency was detected in her second pregnancy and there was also no problem to term is presented to cesarean operation with recombinant activated factor FVII for the preparation and post-operative management.

The evaluation of patients who had myomectomy performed during caesarean section in our clinic. The data of 44 patients who had myomectomy performed during caesarean section in our clinic between June 2006 and January 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Data regarding patient age, gravidity, abortions, gestational age, indication for caesarean section, the position and size of fibroids detected during caesarean section, hemoglobin value before and after the operation and the difference between the two values, intraoperative hemorrhage, need for blood transfusion, duration of the operation, days of hospitalization and the results of histopathological examination of myomectomy materials. The average age of patients was 33.3±4.9 (25-44) and average gestational age was 37.5±2.3 (28-41) weeks. The average size of the fibroids was 6.61±2.7 cm (3-18 cm). Subserous myoms were the most frequently seen ones with fundal or corporal localization in most of the instances. The preoperative and post-operative values of hemoglobin were 11.9±0.9 g/ dL and 10.2±1.1 g/dL respectively and the difference was statistically significant (p

The presence of cardiac disease in pregnancy is still one of the most important reason of maternal mortality. The possibility of acute coronary syndrome increases in pregnancy. Birth with caesarean section provides proper hemodynamic monitoring and management in parturients with cardiac disease. However the ideal anesthetic to be applied to parturient with cardiac disease is controversial. Although regional anesthesia is usually preferred method, general anesthesia may be applied in some special cases. Invasive monitoring reduces mortality and morbidity in cardiac patients undergoing general anesthesia. Opioid use reduces the stress response to surgery and intubation. If the use of opioid is required before birth, remifentanil is the ideal agent because of its rapid onset of action and metabolism. In this case, we aimed to present our general anesthesia experience on a parturient with high cardiac risk where regional anesthesia is contraindicated because of the use of anticoagulation.

The aim at this study is to evaluate women’s experience, opinion about mode of delivery, satisfaction with hospital care after cesarean section. This descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out at 140 women who had cesarean section. The proposed cut off score for SMMSCB was 146.5 and 48.6% of the women had high level of satisfaction. The mean SMMSCB scale score was 144.9±18.7 (min=90, max=105). When subgroups of the scale was examined, ‘perception of health professionals’ was 20.1±3.4 (min=5, max=25); preparation for caesarean 7.9±1.9 (min=2 max=10); ‘comforting’ score was 7.8±2.9 ( min=3 max=15); ‘information and involvement in decision making’ score was 28.2±6.9 (min=8 max=40), meeting the baby 7.4±3.9 (min=3 max=15), postpartum care 7.5±5.1 (min=7 max=30), hospital room 10.5±3.1 (min=3 max=15), hospital facilities 9.9±2.9 (min=3 max =15), respect for privacy 15.1±3.7 (min=8 max=20), meeting expectations 14.6±2.9 (min=8 max =20). The level of satisfaction was found high in women who had given birth with epidural anesthesia and who were in the age group of 26-30 (p

To determine the seropositivity ratios of hepatitis-B and hepatitis-C in pregnant women living in Kocaeli region. Three thousand seven hundred and fifty-six pregnant women who applied to Izmit Women and Child Health Hospital for delivery (vaginal delivery, cesarean) were included in this retrospective study. HBsAg, AntiHBs, Anti-HCV and Anti-HIV were detected by macro ELISA system in all pregnant women. Data were analysed with the SPSS statistical programme. Seropositivity of HBs-Ag, Anti-HBs and Anti-HCV were detected 2.2%, 3.7% and 0.3% respectively in pregnant. There were no pregnant women who have seropositivity with Anti-HIV. The results detected for seropositivity of hepatitis-B and hepatitis-C in Kocaeli region are similar to those found in other regions of Turkey.

Our study was performed to compare the effects of general and spinal anesthesia on the hemodynamic values of the mother, APGAR and umbilical vein blood gases of the newborns. 128 term, pregnant volunteer womwn who were planned for cesarean section and in group ASA I-II were included in the study. The subjects randomly devided into two groups. In group I (n=60), induction was performed with iv. propofol per 2 mg kg-1 and the maintenance dose was provided with the mixture of 1% sevofluran, 50% air and 50% O2 . In group II (n=68), spinal anestesia was performed in left lateral position, by injecting 7.5 mg (1.5 ml) hyperbaric bupivacain intrathecally, through L3-L4 intervertebral space, with 24 gauce spinal needle. Spinal anesthesia elevated to T6-7 level. Both groups preloaded with 10 mL/kg-1h-1 % 0.9 NaCL solution. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures, meanterial pressures, pulse rates and peripheric oxygen saturations reported in all subjects of group I, before the induction and in 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 10., 15. and 30. Minutes after endotracheal entubation. In spinal anesthesia group it is reported in 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 10., 15. and 30. Minutes after the anesthesia. When we compared the pulse rates and mean arterial pressures of both groups, these values were low in spinal anesthesia group which were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). The arterial blood gases (pCO2, pO2), pH of the mother and APGAR (1., 5., 10. minutes) scores of the newborns were better in spinal anesthesia group, and statistically significant (p<0.005). As a result, regarding the undesired effects of the spinal anesthesia on mother’s hemodynamic parameters like hypotension and bradycardia; in cesarean secion cases it must be used carefully. We can advice its safely use regarding to the results of the arterial blood gases and APGAR scores of the newborns after taking preventive measures especially against deep hypotension

Identification of patients who will deliver prematurely is extremely important to decrease neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of cervical length (CL) measurement in predicting preterm birth (PTB) in asymptomatic low risk women. A total of 200 consecutive asymptomatic patients between 16-22 gestational age who had no history of PTB previously were included in this prospective study. CL was measured by transvaginal ultrasonography and the predictive value of CL for PTB was evaluated in this low risk population. The incidence of PTB was 4.5% (9/200). The mean age (±S.D.) of the preterm and term groups was 27.7±6.98 and 24.9±4.47 years, respectively (p=0.222). The CLs at 16-22 weeks were not statistically different between the term group (35.0±4.57 mm) and the preterm group (36.5±6.93 mm) (p=0.887). Cesarean delivery rate was significantly higher in preterm group (p=0.04). Ultrasonographic CL measurement alone has limited value in prediction of preterm delivery in a low risk asymptomatic population. Also there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine CL screening in this subpopulation. Further larger prospective studies are needed to identify patients that may benefit most from such screening.

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a common complication associated with delivery in preterm neonates. Germinal matrix, subependymal layer of lateral ventricle is the most occurring site of intraventricular hemorrhage. IVH is imaged as a hyperechogenic area and ventriculomegaly on ultrasonography, but it is detected easily by fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The present case was referred to our clinic due to ventriculomegaly on ultrasonography. Germinal matrix was determined on the fetal cranium with ultrasonography and intrauterine MRI at 30th weeks of gestation. The pregnancy was terminated by cesarean section due to severe preclampsia. Fetal MRI should be performed to confirm the diagnosis on the cases with suspect ventriculomegaly.

AIM: Our aim is to evaluate the rates, indications and complications of cesarean section, to discuss how to reduce rates, indications and complications in Selçuk University Facult of Medicine. MATERIAL-METHODS: VVomen who gave birth in Selçuk University Facult of Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology Department between 1992-1999 were examined retrospectively. Cesaren rates, indications, complications, mortality and morbidity were evaluated. FINDINGS: Total cesarean rate was % 23.8. 1/3 of this was composed of previous cesarean. Primary cesarean rate was % 25,5. We found an increasing cesarean rate because of previous cesareans with resultant increase in total cesarean rate every year. CONCLUSION: Cesarean rates were increasing every year. Determination of primary cesarean indication more carefully, planning of vaginal birth for previous low seğmeni transverse incisions would decrease cesarean rate.

Endometriosis is the presence of normal endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Scar endometriosis is a rare pathology resulting after obstetric and gynecologic surgery procedures on abdominal wall which is not pre-diagnosed in differential diagnosis by general surgeons. Six cases referred to General Surgery outpatient clinic with mass on abdominal wall that have been totally excised and diagnosed as endometriosis in pathology laboratory between 2008-2012 , have been reviewed retrospectively with clinic, radiologic and pathologic findings. The presenting symptoms of six pateints were different; four of them referred with cyclic pain and swelling and two with nonspesific symptoms to general surgery outpatient clinic. All of the masses have been totally excised and diagnosed as endometriosis in pathology laboratory. Scar endometriosis should be considered in differential diagnosis of incisional abdominal wall masses in females referring to General Surgery.

The choice of anaesthetics for ceasarean sections is important for both the nevvborn and the mother. Emergence phenomena (EP) is observed with clinical doses of ketamine that can be avoided with lower doses. Ketamine- thiopentone or ketamine-midazolam combinations were used for ceasarean section anaesthesia induction. Side effects and newborn APGAR scores were evaluated. After institutional approval and informed consent 42 women (ASA I) were randomly allocated to two groups . Group I (n=21) recieved induction doses of IV ketamine 1mg/ kg+thiopentone 3mg/kg, group II (n=21) recieved ketamine 1 mg/kg+midazolam 0.2mg/kg. Both groups were in- tubated with IV1-1.5mg/kg succinylcholine. The patients were ventilated with 100% 02 until the umblical cord was clamped. Anaesthesia was maintained with 50%02+50%N20, 1-1.5% isoflurane and atracurium. Heart rate, ar- terial pressures were recorded before the operation, induction, skin incision and perioperatively. The APGAR sco­ res were evaluated at the first and 5th minutes. The patients were intervieved 12 hours postoperatively for EP. The data was analysed with Student's t test. The two groups were hemodynamicaly comparable (p>0.05). EP was observed in 2 patients of group I. The APGAR scores were similar in both groups (p>0.05). Both anaesthetic combinations shovved similarity in APGAR scores and anaesthesia. Because of its fewer side effects ke- tamine+midazolam combination is more favourable.

To present a patient who was diagnosed as Preterm Premature Rupture of Membrane at 17th gestational week, she didn’t accept termination of her pregnancy and followed up for 14 weeks period. The patient was 35 years old and had 17 weeks pregnancy estimated using the date of the patient’s last menstrual period, referred to our clinic with vaginal discharge. The patient hospitalized for fetal and maternal monitoring with diagnosis of Preterm Premature Rupture of Membrane because of continued vaginal discharge at anamnesis, positive result at nitrazine paper and decreasing amniotic fluid on ultrasound. The family was asked for termination of pregnancy but they wanted to continue pregnancy. The patient was followed up for 14 weeks period with giving antibiotics. The patient’s labour started spontaneously on 31 gestational age, increased cervical dilatation at vaginal examination so that the patient was delivered by cesarean section. On first postoperative day the patient complained from swelling at left leg so left extremity venous doppler was performed and acute deep vein thrombosis was detected. Because of shortness of breath with continued fever at the patient, contrast computerized tomography and pulmonary angiographytaken with the preliminary diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism. The absolute result was pulmonary thromboembolism. The patient was discharged without any problem on 10th postoperative day for use warfarin sodium (Coumadin®, Zentiva, İstanbul )5 mg / day po. The prevalence of thromboembolic events among women for whom extended bed rest is prescribed as part of the treatment of premature labor or preterm premature rupture of membranes is significantly increased with respect to that among pregnant women who do not receive this therapy

 

Aim: The aim of this study was to primarily investigate the effects of selected anesthesia method on anxiety, patient satisfaction and pain level in elective caesarean section, and secondarily obtain information about quality of service.

Materials and Methods: The study was carried out as a prospective questionnaire in the Department of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation the Meram Medical Faculty Hospital of Necmettin Erbakan University between June 2017 and August 2017, on 160 volunteers aged between 18 and 45 years for whom elective cesarean section under General Anesthesia (GA) or Spinal Anesthesia (SA) was planned. Demographic data of the patients such as age, place of residence, education level, number of children, and cesarean experiences were recorded. In the preoperative and postoperative period, anxiety levels were measured by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-D), pain levels were measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores and satisfaction levels were evaluated at postoperative 6th and 24th hours by (Quality of Recovery: QoR 40 T) questionnaire.

Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the patients' preoperative and postoperative anxiety scores and demographic data (p> 0.05). Patients with previous cesarean experience had lower preoperative anxiety levels (p <0.05). The STAI-D scores and the numbers of patients with anxiety in the GA and SA groups were similar (p> 0.05).Postoperative anxiety levels were significantly lower in both groups than in the preoperative period (p <0.05). VAS values of the SA group at the 6th and 24th hours were significantly higher than the group treated with GA.(p<0.05). The 24th hour VAS values of the SA group were higher than the VAS values at the 6th hour (p <0.05). In the GA group, VAS values at 24th hour were lower than the VAS values at 6th hour (p <0.05). The satisfaction levels of general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia were similar in the postoperative period (p> 0.05). Complaint of headache was high in SA group while complaint of sore throat was high in GA group(p<0.05). While there was no correlation between anxiety level, VAS values and satisfaction level (p> 0.05), there was a negative correlation between VAS values and pain parameters, which are the subgroup of satisfaction questionnaire, in both groups (p <0.05).

Conclusion: It is concluded that the preferred anesthesia method in elective cesarean section has no effect on anxiety and satisfaction, and the patient satisfaction level and service quality will be improved by providing effective analgesia by reviewing our postoperative pain algorithm.
