25
The advantages of the midline episiotomy are:
• less blood loss. • it is easier to repair. • the wound heals quicker. • there is less pain in the postpartum period. • the incidence of dyspareunia is reduced.
26
First degree perineal injury
Laceration involves the vaginal epithelium or perineal skin only.
27
Second degree perineal injury
includes most episiotomies Laceration involves perineal muscle.
28
Third degree perineal injury
secondary tear with partial or complete disruption of the anal sphincter.
29
Fourth degree perineal injury
third degree tear with anal epithelium or rectal mucosa
30
Prerequisites for Operative Vaginal Delivery
A Ask for help Anesthesia is needed Anticipation of complications (e.g., shoulder dystocia, postpartum ). Adequate Pelvis B Bladder empty. C complete Asepsis. D Dilated cervix. E Episiotomy F Favorable presentation (vertex or aftercoming head) G Gentle traction in the proper axis. Good uterine contraction. H Head is engaged. I Informed consent. M Membranes are Ruptured N Neonatal resuscitation trained
31
Advantages Of Vacuum over forceps
1) Can be used with local anesthesia or with no anesthesia. • 2) Can be used before full cx dilatation. • 3) Can be used for rotation and extraction by single application. • 4)Less traumatic to mother. 5.less traumatic to fetal head. • 6) less Compression and traction force • 7) Does not require additional space between tight fitting head and pelvis. • 8)No special skill is needed.
32
Advantages Of Forceps over vacuum
After coming head of breech Dead fetus. Face presentation

Types of circulage
McDonald transvaginal cerclage:Transvaginal purse-string suture inserted at the cervicovaginal junction without bladder mobilization Shirodkar (hightransvaginal) cerclage Transvaginal purse-string suture inserted following bladder mobilization, to allow insertion above the level of cardinal Ligaments Transabdominal cerclage Suture inserted at the cervicoisthmic junction via laparotomy or laparoscopy. Transabdominal cerclages can either be inserted preconceptionally or in the first trimester of pregnancy
41
Wrong dating causes
• Uncertainty of LMP (10–30% of women). • Irregular periods. • Recent use of COCP. • Conception during lactational amenorrhea.
42
Risk of multiple gestation on mother
Hyperemesis gravidurum Anemia Preeclampsia GDM Polyhydroamnios Placenta previa PPH Operative delivery
43
Risk of multiple gestation on fetus
Miscarriage(MC) Preterm labour FGR Intrauterine death Perinatal death Chromosomal abnormalities Congenital abnormalities (MC) Vanishing twin syndrome (1 trimester) Disability
44
Dx of multiple pregnancy
• Hyperemesis gravidarum. • Uterus is larger than expected for dates. • Three or more fetal poles may be palpable at >24wks. • Two fetal hearts may be heard on auscultation.
45
Timing of division in monozygotic twins
• < 3 days DCDA 30%. • 4 –7 days monochorionic, diamniotic (MCDA) 70%. • 8 –12 days monochorionic, monoamniotic (MCMA) <1%. • > 12 days conjoined twins (very rare).
