Practiced for decades now, fetal surgery is a highly complex subject both medically and ethically. In medicine, there is a great amount of stress coming from both the parents and physicians due to concerns with the fetus’ unknown anomaly and whether it can be fixed. The procedure involves cutting the mother's abdomen open so they can then cut a small incision in the uterus to expose as much of the fetus as possible. Then, it is lifted out of the uterus so while tending to the issues it stays connected to the placenta to preserve fetal life. For example, if a tumor is seen on the heart of the fetus on an ultrasound, they could perform fetal cardiac surgery to

It is a leading cause of maternal death in the 1st trimester about 16.7/100,000 patient. The common site of ectopic pregnancy is at the distal part of the fallopian tube which is the ampulla about 97% and isthmus, proximal part of the fallopian tube is the 2nd commonest site about 4%. Other than that are cornual 2.5%, ovary 0.4%, cervix 0.1% and abdominal 0.03%. In her case, the ectopic pregnancy can happen in the tube and it is likely will be either one of the sites. There are many risk factors that can contribute to ectopic pregnancy and it can be divided to high, moderate and low risk as it shows in the table below

Research has been with the fetal tissue for several kinds of diseases to help find a
The research gathered through this effort was then drafted and compiled into the “Compendium of Best Practices” and into the OB Hemorrhage Care Guidelines for recognition, response and prevention of OB hemorrhage. The guideline is available in three formats for ease of use including: beside checklist for team care, a table and flowchart to present key points. This also led way to develop a publicly available CMQCC OB Hemorrhage Toolkit for universal application.11 All of these tools allow clinicians act more efficiently in response to OB hemorrhage by defining roles and responsibilities according to the severity of the hemorrhage. Furthermore, key aspects of treatment, such as medication dosing and recommended ratios for replacement of blood products are clearly defined to allow the team to effectively respond to OB

If you lose a lot of blood during the delivery and become anemic, it may lead to many other infections and cause other complications. Many a times, it becomes very difficult to regain the blood that you have lost. This can affect your entire life.

It is very important to frequent blood tests during the pregnancy to check against anemia and eat a healthy diet so that so you always have enough iron.
In this case, she presented with postmenopausal bleeding, which endometrial carcinoma become the main differential diagnosis until it is proven otherwise. The main onus is to exclude carcinoma of the endometrium or cervix and premalignant endometrial hyperplasia with cytological atypia, which account for about 20% of cases.1 This then bring us to the question on how do we differentiate and stage the disease. Endometrial hyperplasia involves the proliferation of endometrial glands that results in a greater than normal gland-to-stromal ratio.2
