Editor's CommentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A lack of human resources is a significant barrier to improving obstetric care, especially in rural areas. This is true in many low-income and some high-income countries. Emigration of doctors and nurses from many low-income countries contributes to this, as does a widespread unwillingness—for many reasons—to work in rural areas . There are several ways to address this shortage, one of which is task shifting, and this issue of the Keystone Section is devoted to this topic.

Using audits to reduce the incidence of uterine rupture in a Malawian district hospitalEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Audit is an inexpensive, appropriate, and effective intervention to improve the quality of facility-based maternal care and decrease the incidence of uterine rupture in low-resource settings. Ensuring constructive self-criticism, continuous professional learning, and good participation by district health managers in audit sessions may be important requirements for their success.

Where there is no anesthetist – increasing capacity for emergency obstetric care in rural India: An evaluation of a pilot program to train general doctorsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Program managers should consider extending the duration of the program and placing more emphasis on practical training. Posting doctors with cooperative and performing EmOC providers will significantly improve the effectiveness of the program. A separate team of program managers who plan, monitor, and solve the problems reported by the trained MOs would further enhance the success of scaling up the training program.

Where there is no obstetrician – increasing capacity for emergency obstetric care in rural India: An evaluation of a pilot program to train general doctorsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Although MOs can be trained to provide CEmOC (including cesarean delivery), without proper selection of facilities and trainees, adequate training, and support, this strategy will not substantially improve the availability of comprehensive EmOC in India.Recommendations: To implement a successful nationwide scale-up, several steps should be taken. These include, selecting motivated trainees, implementing the training as it was designed, improving support for trainees, and ensuring appropriate staff and infrastructure for trainees at their facilities before they return from training.

Saving mothers and newborns through an innovative partnership with private sector obstetricians: Chiranjeevi scheme of Gujarat, IndiaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: This innovative program shows that, at least in some areas of India, it is possible to develop a large scale partnership with the private sector to provide skilled birth attendance and emergency obstetric care to poor women at a relatively low cost. This is one way of addressing the human resource deficit in the public sector in rural areas of low-income countries to achieve Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5. We also conclude that the skilled care thus provided can reduce maternal and neonatal mortality among the poor. (Source: International Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics)

At the 2006 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) World Congress held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a task force was appointed to develop guidelines for training residents and fellows in urogynecology (also known as female urology and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery). The task force consisted of members from a number of countries and its objective was to develop standards for training that could apply worldwide. In doing this, the care of women with pelvic floor disorders could, it is hoped, be improved. The report gives basic, general outlines for training that are not overly extensiv...

A 33-year-old primigravida was admitted following detection of uterine abnormalities on ultrasound at 24weeks of pregnancy. The patient's medical history revealed a diagnosis of congenital diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the left leg, including the foot, lower leg, and femoral region, as well as the left gluteal region and the left labia major and minor. On admission, the only laboratory abnormality identified was slight normocytic anemia; the routine tests for hemostasis and D-dimer were also normal. Ultrasound investigation revealed abnormal vessels on the left side of the uterus resembling cavernous hemangioma. (Source:...

Hymen reconstruction: Ethical and legal issuesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: A hymen may be ruptured by sexual intercourse and several other means. In cultures prizing unmarried women's virginity, premarital rupture may shame a woman, and her family. Women, including brides whose virginity is not proven at marriage, face humiliation, ostracism, divorce, and violence—at the extreme, “honor” killing. Nevertheless, gynecologists may oppose hymen reconstruction on grounds that it is deceptive, not medically required, or that the requirement of evidence of virginity discriminates against women and the procedure supports holding them to higher standards of virtue than are required of men....

A 63-year-old woman was admitted with recurrent abdominal pain of 3months’ duration and concomitant constipation. The patient's medical history revealed that no abnormities had been seen on transvaginal or abdominal ultrasound performed 19months prior to admission, nor on transvaginal ultrasound performed 3months prior to admission. The patient's last gynecologic check-up, 2months prior to admission, had revealed no abnormalities. However, an abdominal ultrasound conducted at that time revealed a “doughy” infiltration in the mesentery of the small intestine, causing fusing of the intestine and free liquid in the lowe...
