Descriptive studies such as this are important to raise awareness of this diagnosis and improve patient care. © Federation of Obstetric & Gynecological Societies of India 2019.Background/purpose of the study Following mid-urethral tape insertion, for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), a proportion of women experience complications such as voiding dysfunction or tape erosion which fail to respond to conservative management approaches. These women thus require further surgical treatment. Our objective was to describe the outcomes of the surgical management of complications in these women. Methods This retrospective study describes the results obtained following the surgical management of mid-urethral tape complications. Twenty-nine consecutive women who required mid-urethral tape lysis, loosening or excision for tape-related complications in the period 2007-2017 were included. Primary outcomes were improvement in voiding dysfunction and resolution of pain, while secondary outcomes were evaluation of the recurrence of stress urinary incontinence and patient satisfaction. Patient outcomes were measured using the Patient Global Impression of Improvement questionnaire. Results There were 1459 mid-urethral tape procedures performed in the study period. Twenty-nine women (1.99%) who had revision surgery for tape complication were identified. Interventions included tape loosening or lysis in 19 women and tape excision in ten women. Twenty-three of the 29 patients reported a significant improvement in their symptoms postoperatively. Two women had a recurrence of SUI in the tape excision cohort; all patients following tape loosening or lysis remained continent. Conclusions Tape revision surgery is a safe and effective treatment for mid-urethral tape complications with the majority of women maintaining continence following revision. Early intervention and proactive management of complications, by the appropriate specialist, will improve outcomes. © Federation of Obstetric & Gynecological Societies of India 2019.Abstract Immediate post-placental IUD insertion is defined as IUD insertion within 10 min of the expulsion of the placenta. click here Although the expulsion rate in post-placental insertion is higher than interval insertion, the benefits of highly effective contraception immediately after delivery may outweigh the risks of expulsion. Aims To compare post-placental IUD (PPIUD) insertion with interval IUD insertion (IIUD) in terms of safety, effect on menstrual cycle, efficacy and satisfaction. Materials and Methods After meeting all eligibility criteria, the patients were asked to choose between post-placental IUD insertion and interval/delayed IUD insertion. In PPIUD group, insertion was done within 10 min of expulsion of placenta by hand technique. Individuals in IIUD group were asked to return after 6 weeks for IUD insertion by withdrawal technique. Both the groups were followed at 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months by history, physical examination, per speculum examination and ultrasonography. Observations 238 patients weative expulsion. However, for interval expulsion rate, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.6). In our study, continuation rates appear to be higher in the PPIUD group, but the difference is not statistically significant. Conclusion PPIUD is a safe, easy and effective alternative to interval IUD insertion and qualifies to be popularized as a first-line contraceptive agent in eligible patients owing to its immediate and sustained contraceptive benefit, patient comfort, convenience and lower incidence of side effects. © Federation of Obstetric & Gynecological Societies of India 2020.Background Prevalence of obesity among women of reproductive age is increasing worldwide. As the prevalence increases among the women of reproductive age group, so it does among pregnant females. This study was conducted with the aim to assess obesity-related adverse maternal, neonatal and perinatal outcomes using new Asian Indian guidelines. Methodology Pregnant women up to 16-week gestation on first visit were enrolled. There were two exposure groups one with BMI  less then  25 kg/m2 and second with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 matched for maternal age and parity, 100 in each group. The study focused on development of various adverse maternal and foetal/perinatal complications. Comparative analysis of data was done to estimate the odds of each outcome taking non-obese group as reference. Results There was a significant increase in risk among obese mothers compared to non-obese mothers for maternal complications like hypertensive disorders of pregnancyOR 3.83, preeclampsiaOR 9.2, gestational diabetes mellitusOR 4.85 and insulin requirementOR 12.46, induction of labourOR 2.71, caesarean section post inductionOR 8.50, prolonged labourOR 4.69, caesarean sectionsOR 5.18 and postpartum haemorrhageOR 2.21. Also, there was a significant increase in risk among obese mothers compared to non-obese mothers for foetal and perinatal complications like miscarriagesOR 4.85, preterm newbornsOR 4.63, medically indicated pretermOR 6.59, shoulder dystociaOR could not be calculated, large for gestational ageOR 5.91, hyperbilirubinaemia OR 4.26 and neonatal intensive care unit admissionsOR 3.26. Conclusion It was concluded that obesity defined by Asian Indian guidelines (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes at odds comparable to western studies with obesity taken as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. © Federation of Obstetric & Gynecological Societies of India 2020.Objectives To assess the intra- and postoperative results of cesarean myomectomy. Methods A retrospective study was conducted to collect the results of cesarean myomectomy procedures performed in our tertiary center between June 2013 and December 2018. The subjects were 2219 pregnant women undergoing cesarean section at these units. Results A total of 2219 scheduled patients undergoing CS were included in the present study. Sixty-five patients have undergone intramural myomectomy during CS; 82 patients have had subserosal myomectomy during CS. No statistically significant differences were found between the three groups in changes of preoperative Hb, postoperative Hb, mean Hb and length of hospital stay. Operation times were significantly longer in both intramural and subserosal myomectomy groups (45.23 ± 8.498 vs. 39.02 ± 6.824 vs. 32.14 ± 5.423 min, p 0.01). Only in the intramural myomectomy group, two patients were subjected to blood transfusion (3%). Assessment of intramural myomectomy patients was carried out by taking 5 cm as the cutoff value.
