Small Incisions After Tubal Reversal SurgeryEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Many women wonder about the size of the abdominal incision after tubal reversal surgery. A Tubal Reversal Message Board member, Hopeful1970, asks," How big of an incision do you walk away with after a tubal reversal? Can someone tell me what I will be looking forward to in a few days?" Women who have their tubes repaired at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center will be happy to know the incision for reversal surgery is no more than 4 inches in length and just above the pubic hair area. The incision is very similar to a c-section incision, but much smaller. The tube reversing incision is often unnoticeable after it heals. Chape...

Prenatal nicotine-exposure alters fetal autonomic activity and medullary neurotransmitter receptors: implications for sudden infant death syndromeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
During pregnancy, exposure to nicotine and other compounds in cigarette smoke increases the risk of the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) two- to fivefold. Serotonergic (5-HT) abnormalities are found, in infants who die of SIDS, in regions of the medulla oblongata known to modulate cardiorespiratory function. Using a baboon model, we tested the hypothesis that prenatal exposure to nicotine alters 5-HT receptor and/or transporter binding in the fetal medullary 5-HT system in association with cardiorespiratory dysfunction. At 87 (mean) days gestation (dg), mothers were continuously infused with saline (n = 5) or nicotine (...

Scar Abscess Six Years after Cesarean Section: Laparoscopic and Hysteroscopic ManagementEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present the case of a patient who presented an abscess in the cesarean section scar tissue 6 years after the surgery. The myometrium covering the abscess was almost absent. This lesion was first managed with antibiotic therapy and ultrasound-guided aspiration. After failure of the initial therapy, this situation was managed by hysteroscopic fulguration of the capsule under laparoscopic control. For patients with abscesses spreading into the uterine cavity, endoscopic management is a feasible and safe intervention that may be offered to the patient after a correct evaluation.

Nicette Jukelevics, former chair of the International Childbirth Education Association's Cesarean Options Committee, has written a groundbreaking exposé of cesarean birth in the United States. Approximately 1 in 3 US women give birth by cesarean section, a rate that is 2 times higher than that recommended by the World Health Organization. Factors thought to be contributing to the rapidly rising US cesarean rate include the decrease in vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), an increase in primary cesarean births, the widespread use of labor interventions such as induction and epidural anesthesia, the availability of elective...

Human placental metabolic adaptation to chronic hypoxia, high altitude: Hypoxic pre-conditioning.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We have previously demonstrated placentas from laboring deliveries at high altitude have lower binding of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor (HIF) to DNA than those from low altitude. It has recently been reported that labor causes oxidative stress in placentas, likely due to ischemic hypoxic insult. We hypothesized that placentas of high altitude residents acquired resistance, in course of their development, to oxidative stress during labor. Full thickness placental tissue biopsies were collected from laboring vaginal and non-laboring C-section term (37 - 41 wks) deliveries from healthy pregnancies at sea-level an...

We examined the effect of overnight birth on treatment and outcome (including initial cardiorespiratory stabilization) in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). CDH births between May 2005 and May 2008 were abstracted from a national CDH database. Overnight birth was defined as occurring between 8 and 8 . Patient characteristics, treatment, and outcomes were compared between birth time groups, including the subset of infants in whom a prenatal diagnosis of CDH had been made. Of 132 cases evaluated, 106 (80%) survived. Forty-nine babies (37%) were born overnight. Eighty-five infants (64%) with a prenatal diagn...

[Benefit of misoprostol for prevention of postpartum hemorrhage in cesarean section: A randomized controlled trial.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Sublingual misoprostol (in addition to oxytocin) is effective in prevention of post-partum hemorrhage at caesarean sections when compared to oxytocin alone, without major side-effects. Larger studies are needed to confirm our results. PMID: 19833454 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Journal de Gynecologie, Obstetrique et Biologie de la Reproduction)

What Will My Tubal Reversal Incision Look Like?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Tara, a future patient of Dr. Monteith at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center asks other members of the Tubal Reversal Message Board what to expect about the size of her surgical incision. Other message board members who have already had their tubes untied by Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith, the tubal reversal doctors at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, describe the incision as 2 to 3 inches in length across the top of the pubic hair line. This incision is about one-third of the length of the average c-section incision. This type of incision results in the least amount of pain after surgery and the fastest recover...

Special Thank You To Dr. Berger and Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal CenterEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A Tubal Reversal Message Board member, 'HopesAndDreams' posts, "I had my 6 week post baby check up with my OB after delivering by C-section. My doctor said that he and my other OB who was also in the OR both commented on how well my tubes looked. They told everyone in the OR to look at the tubes because he said they looked like they have never been touched. They could not tell where the repair had been done on either tube. They all could not believe that they looked that good. I of course jumped at the chance to tell everyone who hadn't already heard my Tubal Reversal story. Even after the TR, Dr. Berger and his staff made...

[Peritoneal serous borderline tumor discovered during a cesarean section. A case report.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
During a caesarean section performed in a 36-year-old woman, we discovered small granulations on the pelvic peritoneum. Biopsies were performed. The diagnosis of primitive borderline serous tumor was confirmed by pathologists. The patient was operated twice: once for diagnostic evaluation, and again six months later. A radical gesture was then decided for therapeutic purposes. The optimal attitude regarding these borderline peritoneal tumors in young women remains difficult and requires a multidisciplinary workout between pathologists and surgeons.

Spontaneous Intrauterine “Ping-Pong” Fracture: Review and Case IllustrationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report a case of a closed outer-table parietal “ping-pong” skull fracture occurring in a 4 190-gram female infant born at 39 weeks and 5 days gestation after an uneventful Cesarean section (Apgar scores of 9 and 9 at one and five minutes). There was no maternal history of abdominal trauma during pregnancy and there were no complications or difficulties with Cesarean section delivery. Neurological examination was normal. Computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction images showed a 4 × 5 cm depression in the right parietal bone with a medial lucency consistent with a fracture of the s...
