BACKGROUND: Delayed placental separation either after vaginal birth or caesarean birth is an important cause of postpartum haemorrhage, among other causes such as uterine atony. Intra-umbilical oxytocin has been shown to reduce the time to placental delivery after vaginal birth. However, the efficacy of intra-umbilical oxytocin to reduce the time to placental delivery following caesarean section birth is not known. OBJECTIVES: To explore the preliminary efficacy, feasibility and safety of intra-umbilical oxytocin to reduce the time to placental delivery at caesarean section...

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the safety, efficacy, and ease of hysteroscopic metroplasty using Holmium YAG Laser for treatment of septate uterus. DESIGN: Stepwise demonstration of surgical technique with narrated video footage. SETTING: Septate uterus is the most common type of uterine anomaly. The incidence of uterine septum in women presenting with infertility and recurrent abortions is 15.4% (1)(2). Hysteroscopic septal incision is associated with improvement in live-birth rate in these women (3)...

BACKGROUND: Delayed cord clamping has significant beneficial effects for the neonate and its transition to extrauterine life and is therefore common practice at vaginal births in the Netherlands. In 2015, 16% of neonates were born by caesarean section, in 81% of these cases the umbilical cord was clamped and cut immediately. Neonatal benefits of delayed cord clamping are an increased circulating volume of 25-30ml/kg, leading to a higher preload of both right and left ventricle during transition from umbilical to pulmonary circulation, thus maintaining a stable left ventricle output, and to higher neonatal hemoglobin and hematocrit levels 24 to 48 hours postpartum...

INTRODUCTION: This obstetric surgery review is directed toward the common obstetrical surgeries (caesarean delivery, VBAC/TOLAC, operative vaginal delivery, placenta accreta spectrum) with evidence for quality and safety to allow for obstetrical outcome excellence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This focused scoping review has used a structured process for article identification and inclusion for each of the focused surgeries. RESULTS: The review results provide an obstetrical surgery (OS) overview for caesarean delivery, vaginal birth after caesarean delivery and/or trial of labor after caesarean delivery, operative vaginal delivery, placenta accreta spectrum; considerations for quality and safety variance due to non-clinical human factors; quality improvement (QI) tools; OS QI implementation cohorts; implementation considering certain barriers and solutions...

BACKGROUND: Labor after cesarean (LAC) remains an optional delivery method among healthy pregnant individuals. Exploring women's attitudes, preferences, reasons for previous cesarean delivery, and the incentives underlying pregnant individuals' preferences could help us understand their choice of delivery mode. In this study we evaluated the preferences and attitudes of eligible pregnant women regarding participation in a LAC in Foshan, China. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 438 pregnant individuals with one prior cesarean delivery (CD) who attended their antenatal examination at a tertiary hospital in southern China, between November 1, 2018, and October 31, 2019...

BACKGROUND: Caesarean section (CS) rates are continuing to rise worldwide. Elective repeat CS (ERCS) greatly contribute to the rising rate which increases unnecessary risks of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is a safe mode of birth for most women; however, uptake remains low. Our objective is to find the factors that influence women's decision-making to support informed choices for the mode of next birth after caesarean section (NBAC)...

There is emerging evidence that vaginal birth after open and laparoscopic myomectomy may be safe in many pregnancies, however, there are no studies examining the perspectives of women who have given birth post myomectomy and their preferences regarding mode of birth. We performed a retrospective questionnaire survey of women who had an open or laparoscopic myomectomy followed by a pregnancy within 3 maternity units in a single NHS trust in the UK over a 5-year period. Our results revealed only 53% felt actively involved in the decision making for their birth plan and 90% had not been offered a specific birth options counselling clinic...

INTRODUCTION: Increasing the number of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) deliveries is one strategy to reduce the cesarean rate in the United States. Despite evidence of its safety, access to trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) and VBAC are limited by many clinical and non-clinical factors. We used a scoping review methodology to identify barriers to access of TOLAC and VBAC in the United States and extract potential leverage points from the literature. CONTENT: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL for peer-reviewed, English-language studies published after 1990, focusing on access to TOLAC and/or VBAC in the United States...

Background: The efficacy and safety of a cervical ripening balloon (CRB) in women with a previous cesarean section (CS) and unfavorable Bishop score are still controversial. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed across six tertiary hospitals from 2015 to 2019. Women with one previous transverse CS, singleton cephalic term pregnancy and BS < 6 were included if submitted to labor induction with a CRB. The main outcome was the rate of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) after CRB ripening. Secondary outcomes were abnormal composite fetal and maternal outcomes...

INTRODUCTION: Quality assessment of provided healthcare is becoming a standard in numerous health institutions worldwide, which is beneficial for both the patient and the institution. In order to achieve this standard, it is necessary to develop quality indicators in all segments of healthcare. Postdural puncture headache is a common complication following neuraxial blocks, especially in obstetric anesthesia. If severe, it is a cause of emotional and psychological distress and must be treated by a blood patch...

Following criticism for the use of race as a biological predictor of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), an updated version of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) VBAC calculator has been published. The variable "African American" or "Hispanic" (yes/no), which produced systematically lower chances of VBAC for nonwhites has been replaced with "chronic hypertension requiring treatment" (yes/no). Although there are no published external validation studies to date, developers report accuracy (area under the curve and calibration) nearly identical to the original calculator and it is published online for immediate use...

BACKGROUND: Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) rates have decreased and cesarean birth rates have increased in the last two decades. Evidence on short term neonatal outcomes is available, but long-term childhood outcome data following a VBAC is insufficient. Long-term childhood outcome data is essential in decision making regarding mode of delivery. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between delivery mode and long term educational outcomes of the children of pregnant individuals with a prior cesarean delivery...
