Latest Caesarean Section News — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:15:32 +0000

The results of a new study indicate that the use of over-the-counter decongestants during pregnancy cuts the risk of premature births. Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) epidemiologist Rohini Hernandez and colleagues conducted the study. "The more we can learn about what could potentially cause preterm birth would help our understanding in how to stop it," Hernandez said. The study found that women who took decongestants in their second or third trimesters had a roughly ...

Abdominoplasty Combined with Cesarean Delivery: Evaluation of the Practice

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 05:20:43 +0000

This study was designed to evaluate the aesthetic outcome of combined abdominoplasty with Cesarean delivery. The study included 50 pregnant women from February 2008 to December 2009 with an average follow up period of 6 months. Nine patients (18%) developed wound infection; three of them (9%) developed wound dehiscence. Six patients (12%) developed lower abdominal skin necrosis; three of them (6%) were treated conservatively and healed by secondary intention, while surgical debridement and secondary sutures were needed in the other three patients (6%). Residual abdominal skin redundancy in 9 patients (18%), outward bulging of the abdomen and lack of waist definition in 16 patients (32%), and outward bulging of the umbilicus in 12 patients (24%) were the reported unaesthetic resu...

Can I Use A Midwife After Tubal Ligation Reversal?

Tubal Ligation Reversal News — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:00:00 +0000

A message board member planning to have her tubal reversed at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center asks if she can use a midwife for her delivery after ligation reversal surgery. Another patient responds she is currently pregnant after her tubal reversal surgery and she has already talked with a midwife who is happy to take care of her delivery. Once a tubal reversal patient's pregnancy is confirmed to be in the uterus then the pregnancy can proceed normally without any additional concerns from the tube reversal surgery. The only exception to this would be patients who have had tubo-uterine implantation procedures to reverse their tubal blockage. These patients are sometimes advised to have a c-section at the time of delivery to prevent disruption of the tubo-uterine repair site. Tubo-uterine...
