I would have booked her for elective Vaginal Bypass and BTL at 38/40, I would not have allowed trial of scar:

1) She neded to be opened for BTL anyway 2) Previous Cesarean was for failed induction 3) Baby was largish in a functional primipara, we haven't been told andything about the position. Occipito Posterior? Right or Left? 4) PIH to Pre-Ecclampsia, we haven't been told about the FBC and coagulation studies. 5) We are not HMO run, in other words: I CAN :-)-O

How far was she dilated when you did that or what was the Bishop's score? Not that it matters, just out of interest.

[...]

Just one more question, how much Oxytocin or Oxytocin/Ergometrin was given at C/S, when exactly, and did you put any Oxitocin in the drip?

I have seen two subtotal hysterectomies at C/S myself in 10 years, but a colleague of mine encountered an accreta at C/S (private patient) the other week. She managed to stop the bleeder somehow (but she can't do a hysterectomy), and flew the patient to the capital where she underwent hysterctomy, prolonged stay in ICU, the works.

I can do without the aggro, thank you very much :-)-O

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
