Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 49
Abstract
BACKGROUND Caesarean delivery is defined as the birth of a foetus through incisions in the abdominal and uterine wall. Several studies conducted across India have shown alarming increase in the rate of caesarean section deliveries. Depending on the indication, it may be elective or emergency in nature. Caesarean sections are also associated with some maternal morbidity. Aims and Objectives- To compare the maternal complications between elective and emergency lower segment caesarean section. MATERIALS & METHODS A secondary data analysis was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Tripura Medical College & Dr BRAM Teaching Hospital, Hapania, West Tripura. 290 cases of elective and 259 cases of emergency LSCS with singleton pregnancy, from January 2016 to December 2016 were included in this study. RESULTS Majority of the participants (54.10%) of the elective group did not suffer from complications compared to emergency group (10.40%). CONCLUSION Maternal morbidity was found more in emergency caesarean sections than in elective. Though emergency operations are unavoidable, planning can help in minimising complications
