Caesarean section complications
Haemorrhage
Haemorrhage
• Postpartum hemorrhage is a significant
loss of blood ,more than 1000ml after a
cesarean section delivery.
• it’s the number one reason for maternal
morbidity and maternal death around the
world.
• additional criteria to consider for
postpartum hemorrhage include a
decrease of 10% or more in hematocrit
from baseline, as well as changes in the
mother’s heart rate, blood pressure, and
oxygen saturations —all of which suggest
a significant blood loss.
• Primary vs secondary or late PPH
.
Tone(Myometrium atony)
Multiple pregnancies
Multiple pregnancy
Micturition(full bladder )
Medications
Why does it occur?
Trauma
Tissue
Thrombin
Management
• Prevention and Proper Preparation.
• Resuscitation.
• Management of underlying cause.
Resuscitation
• Administer oxygen by mask.
• Place 2 large-bore (14-gauge) intravenous
lines.
• Take blood for crossmatch of 6 U PRBCs, and
obtain a CBC count, coagulation screen, urea
level, creatinine value, and electrolyte status.
• Begin immediate rapid fluid replacement with
NS or Ringer lactate solution.
• Transfuse with PRBCs as available and
appropriate.
Underlying cause Mx.
• Massage,bimanual compression,and suture compression.
• medications administration(oxytocin,ergonovine,prostaglandin)
• Artery ligation,or embolization.
• hysterectomy
• 5-20fold
• Risk Factors
• M.O.(poly microbial,Ecoli,group B Streptococcus )
• Prevention:
I. One dose of first-generation
cephalosporin or ampicillin

procedures
Dilatation and curettage
What is D&C?
Is is a procedure in which contents from the inside of
the uterus are evacuated. "Dilation" refers to the
opening of the cervix. "Curettage" refers to the
aspiration or removal of tissue within the uterus with
an instrument called a curette.It is both diagnostic
and therapeutic.
anaesthesia is used?
Paracervical block
Complications
1. Cervical incompetence
Complications
1. Cervical incompetence
Complications
2. Cervical laceration
3. Perforation
4. Bleeding.
5. Infection
6. Adhesion formation(asherman
syndrome)
7. Failure.
Asherman syndrome
What is Asherman syndrome ?
is an Acquired uterine condition that occurs when scar
tissue (Adhesions) form inside the uterus and/or the
cervix.
How is it diagnosed ?
1. Hysteroscopy.
2. HSG.
3. Sonohysterography (SHG) with2D or 3D sonar.
How to prevent it?
1. Avoiding unnecessarily intrauterine instrumentation
2. Application of IUCD
3. An Uterine balloon stent use
4. A Foley’s catheter placement
5. Anti-adhesion barriers following intrauterine manipulation .
How to treat ?
Hysterscopic Surgery.
Endometrial Ablation
What is It?
Endometrial ablation is a procedure that surgically
destroys (ablates) the lining of the uterus
(endometrium) .
When is it done?
Endometrial ablation is an alternative for patients who
wish to avoid hysterectomy or who are not candidates for
major surgery.
What types are there?
Electrosurgery,Cryoablation,Microwaves,ballo
on ablation etc......
Sequalae
1. After the procedure the pt.might
experience:
2. Perforation
3. Bleeding.
4. Infection
5. Occurrence of pregnancy with
complications
6. Failure of resolution of presenting
symptom.
I. Cramps.
II. Vaginal discharge.
III. Frequent urination.
Hysterescopy
What is Hysterscopy?
Is the process of viewing and operating the
endometrial cavity from a trans cervical approach.
What are the two types ?
Rigid and flexible.
What media are used?
Co2,NS.
What type of anaesthesia is used?
Paracervical block
Complications
1. Media related(fluid overload)
2. Perforation
3. Bleeding.
4. Infection
5. Adhesion formation
6. Failure of resolution of presenting
symptom.
Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy
Types
1. Abdominal Hysterectomy (AH)
2. Vaginal Hysterectomy (VH)
3. Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)
4. Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy
Surgery Advantages
Abdominal
Hysterectomy
1. allows full inspection of the pelvis .
2. Oopherectomy is straightforward
3. Allows removal of large masses like big fibroid.
Vaginal
Hysterectomy
1. No abdominal incision.
2. Faster recovery.
3. Suitable for spinal anaesthesia
4. Appropriate for frail elderly .
LAVH&TLH The main advantages of them are that they
offset the disadvantages of AH like abdominal
incision ,prolonged period of recovery and pain.
• Intraoperative:
1. Hemorrhage . Shock
2. Ureteric injuries.
3. Bladder and bowel injury.
4. Anesthetic complications
5. incising the cardinal ligs if the urinary
bladder is not sufficiently reflected inferiorly.
• Postoperative :
1. wound infection.
2. Wound dehiscence.
3. UTI .
4. Thrombophlebitis and thromboembolism.
5. Ureterovaginal fistula.
6. Menopausal symptoms.
7. Depression or Sexual Dysfunction.
8. Incisional hernia.
9. vaginal vault prolapse.
Biopsies
Endometrial biopsy
• endometrial biopsy is a medical procedure in which
a small piece of tissue from the lining of the uterus
(the endometrium) is removed for examination
under a microscope. The removed tissue is
e x a m i n e d f o r c a n c e r o r a n y o t h e r c e l l
abnormalities.
• It is the most commonly used test for endometrial
cancer and is very accurate in postmenopausal
women. It can be done in the doctor's office. A very
thin, flexible tube is put into the uterus through the
cervix. Then, using suction, a small amount of
endometrium is removed through the tube. The
suctioning takes about a minute or less. The
discomfort is a lot like menstrual cramps and can
be helped by taking a nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drug (like ibuprofen) before the
procedure. Sometimes a thin needle is used to inject
numbing medicine (local anesthetic) into the cervix
just before the procedure to help reduce the pain
Complications
1. Bleeding.
2. Infection
3. Perforation(rare)
Cervical Biopsy
Types
1. Punch Biopsy
2. Cone Biopsy- conization
3. Wedge Biopsy
4. Ring Biopsy
5. Surface Biopsy- Pap smear.
Punch Biopsy
• An out patient procedure without
anesthesia
•Using Cusco’s Bivalve Speculum
biopsy is taken from the suspected
area or a 4-quadrant using Punch
Biopsy forceps.
•It can be also Colposcopic directed
Punch Biopsy
• Loop electrosurgical excision procedure
(LEEP) :uses a thin wire loop heated by
electricity to remove the cervical tissue.
• Laser surgery :uses a laser (an intense,
narrow beam of light) to remove the
cervical tissue. Laser surgery is also called
laser excision.
• Cold-knife excision: uses a surgical knife
(scalpel) to remove the cervical tissue.
Cone biopsy
• Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) : seems to
have Lower incidence long-term side effects than the other
types of cone biopsy. Women who become pregnant after
LEEP may deliver their babies a little early
• Cold-knife excision:has been linked to second-
trimester miscarriages and premature delivery.
• LaSer surgery :has been linked to Scarring of the
cervix, which may make menstrual periods painful.
Women who become pregnant after laser surgery
may deliver their babies a little early.
