Mommy makeover helps in restoration of the body shape of a woman to where it was before pregnancy. Most women notice significant changes in their bodies post-mommy makeover surgery. There are many areas of the body that can be treated during mommy makeover surgery such as the breasts, waist, abdomen, genitalia and buttocks. A mommy makeover surgery is a one-time
trans-labial scans were performed using the same type of transducer, patient position, and preparation with semi-filled bladders before the scan. The partially filled bladder provided better evaluation of the lower uterine segment for identification of the placenta edge with regard to the inner OS (Elhawaryl et al., 2013). Except for the Pilloni et al. case study, a 1.5-T MRI scanner was utilized from the point of the diaphragm to the pubic symphysis (2015). The patient was placed on her back with full urinary
Case Scenario 6 – Caesarean section – patient choice Delivery by a Caesarean section has become more common over the last several years for a number of various reasons. The old saying “once a c-section, always a c-section”, however, no longer is true. Many women who have had a baby by Caesarean section could deliver their next child vaginally if they so choose. In this case scenario, clinicians are confident that the labour would progress without a complication and that there would not be a need
more chances of caesarean hysterectomy esp in placenta accreta, post operative infections, ARDS, pulmonary embolism and maternal mortality. Different studies have quoted different incidence rates of complications associated with PP. Thorkild et al23Reports that increasing liberal use of caesarean section in modern obstetric practice adds to increasing maternal morbidity and also the incidence of placenta previa. He states that incidence of placenta previa is 5 times higher in patients with history
cord insertion can be not located lateral or central onto the placental plate.) Also, a diagnosis of placenta accreta can occur, meaning the myometrical invasion by villi tissue, caused by the partial or complete absence of deciduas basalis or of placenta previa, which is an abnormal position of the placenta. (Placenta previa can be categorized as complete, incomplete, partial and low-lying placenta) Another diagnosis are the vascular chorioangiomas, which are associated with increased polyhydramnio
Midwives (ICM) have approved the balloon as one of the primary support measures in treating PPH (3, 5). A number of recent reports have described the successful use of balloon tamponade to manage hemorrhage from the lower uterine segment due to placenta previa accreta (6-8). Bakri balloon is a silicone balloon of a 24-French, 54-cm long, silicone catheter with a filling capacity of 500-mL (3, 4). Ductile shape allows it to conform to uterine anatomy and shape. Added to that, it
hysterectomy is more expedient particularly in moribund cases, but a total hysterectomy with removal of the cervix is advocated by some surgeons because of concerns about delayed hemorrhage from the hypervascularized vault especially in cases of placenta previa accreta. In practice, the decision is often best taken intraoperatively based on the patient’s physical condition, the degree of distortion of the pelvic anatomy by placental infiltration or scarring from previous surgery and the severity of bleeding
