BACKGROUND: The surgical repair of fistula can address the physical symptoms, but may not end the psychological challenges that women with fistula face. There are a few studies that focus on women with this condition in Ethiopia. Hence, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of surgical repair of obstetric fistula on the severity of depression and anxiety in women with obstetric fistula in Ethiopia. METHOD: The study employed a longitudinal study design to investigate the changes in 219 women with obstetric fistula admitted to six fistula management hospitals in Ethiopia. The data were collected on admission of the patients for obstetric fistula surgical repair and at the end of six-month post repair. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain socio-demographic information and medical history of the respondents. Depression and anxiety symptoms were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scales. The data was entered using Epi-Data software and then exported to SPSS for further analysis. The Mann-Whitney-U test, the Kruskal-Wallis test and Paired t-test were performed to measure the change in psychological symptoms after surgical repair. RESULT: Though 219 respondents were interviewed pre-obstetric fistula surgical repair, only 200 completed their follow up. On admission, the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms were 91 and 79% respectively. After surgical repair, the prevalence rate was 27 and 26%. The differences in the prevalence of screen-positive women were statistically significant (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The study concluded that the severity of depression and anxiety symptoms decrease post-obstetric fistula surgical repair. However, a woman with continued leaking after surgery seems to have higher psychological distress than those who are fully cured. Clinicians should manage women with obstetric fistula through targeted and integrated mental health interventions to address their mental health needs.

Our current global health structure has not yet evolved to do what the world needs of it. Despite significant advances in some areas of public health over the past few decades, disparities in health have worsened in many areas. The historical approach of global health governance to health issues has been overwhelmingly led by vertical, single disease efforts. Yet, this structure cannot effectively implement broad-reaching international development goals set forth by the United Nations. The solution requires a rapid evolution of the present health system conceptualisation. As the Cambrian period brought skeletal infrastructure to life on our planet with vertebrates, allowing life to take on new capabilities never before witnessed on earth, so will surgery, obstetrics and anaesthesia provide the much needed healthcare delivery infrastructure that will allow health system strengthening to take global healthcare along a new path. Surgery, anaesthesia and obstetrics form the core foundation upon which the whole of global health is built and serve as the skeletal structure and indicator of robust health systems. Integrating these domains as the backbone of health system strengthening will finally allow global health to stand and support all sectors of healthcare delivery as an equal partner in health.

Background Audit of antibiotic prophylaxis is an important strategy used to identify areas where stewardship interventions are required. Objectives To evaluate compliance with surgical antibiotic prophylaxis in obstetrics and gynaecology surgeries and determine the Defined Daily Dose (DDD) of antibiotic. Settings Three public tertiary hospitals located in Northern Nigeria. Methods This prospective study included women who had obstetrics and gynaecology surgeries with no infection at the time of incision. Appropriateness of antibiotic prophylaxis was determined by a clinical pharmacist. DDD of antibiotics was determined using ATC/DDD index 2017 from the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Drugs Statistics Methodology. Main outcome measure Compliance with antibiotic prophylaxis and DDD of antibiotic per procedure. Results A total of 248 procedures were included (mean age: 31.7 ± 7.9 years). Nitroimidazole in combination with either beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor or third generation cephalosporin were the most prescribed antibiotics. Redundant anaerobic antibiotic combination was detected in 71.4% of the procedures. Timing of antibiotic prophylaxis was optimal in 16.5% while duration of prophylaxis was prolonged in all the procedures (mean duration was 8.7 ± 1.0 days). The DDD of antibiotics prophylaxis was 16.75 DDD/procedure. Antibiotic utilisation was higher in caesarean section and myomectomy (17.9 DDD/procedure) than hysterectomy (14.5 DDD/procedure); P < 0.001. Redundant metronidazole represents one-third of total DDD and 87% of the DDD for metronidazole. Conclusion Excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotic prophylaxis was observed in women who had obstetrics and gynaecology surgeries. These observations underline the need for antimicrobial stewardship interventions to improve antibiotic use.

Papua New Guinea has one of the world's highest maternal mortality rates with approximately 215 women dying per 100,000 live births. The sustainable development goals outline key priority areas for achieving a reduction in maternal mortality including a focus on universal health coverage with safe surgery and anesthesia for all pregnant women. This narrative review addresses the issue of reducing maternal mortality in Papua New Guinea by contextualizing the need for safe obstetric surgery and anesthesia within a structure of enabling environments at key times in a woman's life. The 3 pillars of enabling environments are as follows: a stable humanitarian government; a safe, secure, and clean environment; and a strong health system. Key times, and their associated specific issues, in a woman's life include prepregnancy, antenatal, birth and the postpartum period, childhood, adolescence and young womanhood, and the postchildbearing years.

BACKGROUND: Significant changes have been noted in aspects of obstetrics-gynecology (ob-gyn) training over the last decade, which is reflected in Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) operative case logs for graduating ob-gyn residents. OBJECTIVE: We sought to understand the changing trends of ob-gyn residents' experience in obstetric procedures over the past 11 years. METHODS: We analyzed national ACGME procedure logs for all obstetric procedures recorded by 12â728 ob-gyn residents who graduated between academic years 2002-2003 and 2012-2013. RESULTS: The average number of cesarean sections per resident increased from 191.8 in 2002-2003 to 233.4 in 2012-2013 (17%; P < .001; 95% CI -47.769 to -35.431), the number of vaginal deliveries declined from 320.8 to 261 (18.6%; P < .001; 95% CI 38.842-56.35), the number of forceps deliveries declined from 23.8 to 8.4 (64.7%; P < .001; 95% CI 14.061-16.739), and the number of vacuum deliveries declined from 23.8 to 17.6 (26%; P < .001; 95% CI 5.043-7.357). Between 2002-2003 and 2007-2008, amniocentesis decreased from 18.5 to 11 (P < .001, 95% CI 6.298-8.702), and multifetal vaginal deliveries increased from 10.8 to 14 (P < .001, 95% CI -3.895 to -2.505). Both were not included in ACGME reporting after 2008. CONCLUSIONS: Ob-gyn residents' training experience changed substantially over the past decade. ACGME obstetric logs demonstrated decreases in volume of vaginal, forceps, and vacuum deliveries, and increases in cesarean and multifetal deliveries. Change in experience may require use of innovative strategies to help improve residents' basic obstetric skills.

OBJECTIVE: To compare laparotomy and laparoscopic management of interstitial ectopic pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN: The medical records of 109 patients diagnosed with interstitial ectopic pregnancies at the Korea University Medical Center, the Republic of South Korea, between January 1998 and October 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. Eighty-eight women were treated by open cornual resection or laparoscopic cornual resection. A case-controlled study was performed. The outcomes were operative time, length of hospital stay, estimated blood loss, blood transfusion, and complication. Nominal variables were analyzed by the Fisher's exact test or the χ(2) test. RESULTS: The frequency of cornual ectopic pregnancies was 4.31% at this medical center. In patients with a cornual resection, primary laparotomy was performed in 49 women and laparoscopy was performed in 39 women. Laparoscopy was converted to laparotomy in five patients. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups for the mean operation time, estimated blood loss, blood loss of more than 1000 mL, blood transfusion requirements, and complications. The mean number of postoperative hospital days was shorter in the laparoscopy group than in the laparotomy group (4.53 ± 1.44 days versus 5.89 ± 1.86 days, respectively; P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic cornual resection is a safe and less invasive procedure with a reasonable complication rate and shorter hospital stay.

OBJECTIVES: To estimate trends over time in inpatient obstetric and gynecologic surgical procedures, and to estimate commonly performed obstetric and gynecologic surgical procedures across a woman's lifespan. METHODS: Data were collected for procedures in adult women from 1979 to 2006 using the National Hospital Discharge Survey, a federal discharge dataset of U.S. inpatient hospitals, including patient and hospital demographics and International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification procedure codes for adult women from 1979 to 2006. Age-adjusted rates per 1,000 women were created using 1990 U.S. Census data. Procedural trends over time were assessed. RESULTS: More than 137 million obstetric and gynecologic procedures were performed, comprising 26.5% of surgical procedures for adult women. Sixty-four percent were only obstetric and 29% were only gynecologic, with 7% of women undergoing both obstetric and gynecologic procedures during the same hospitalization. Obstetric and gynecologic procedures decreased from approximately 5,351,000 in 1979 to 4,949,000 in 2006. Both operative vaginal delivery and episiotomy rates decreased, whereas spontaneous vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery rates increased. All gynecologic procedure rates decreased during the study period, with the exception of incontinence procedures, which increased. Common procedures by age group differed across a woman's lifetime. CONCLUSION: Inpatient obstetric and gynecologic procedures rates decreased from 1979 to 2006. Inpatient obstetric and gynecologic procedure rates are decreasing over time but still comprise a large proportion of inpatient surgical procedures for U.S. women. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.

PURPOSE: To update the prevalence and risk factors of intractable postpartum hemorrhage (IPH) and evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment modalities. METHODS: Between January 2002 and January 2008, IPH diagnosis was made in 86 cases. They were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: Placental implantation abnormalities were the leading cause, responsible for 45.6% of cases. Organ preserving surgery (OPS) methods were utilized in 47 cases, with a success rate of 76.6%. Among these cases, 11 were proceeded to hysterectomy. Hysterectomy was performed in 45 cases as definitive treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Compression sutures were quite effective in controlling hemorrhage due to placenta accreta and previa. For women who are hemodynamically stable and desirous for future fertility, OPS modalities should be applied first. Shorter operating time, hospital stay and less blood transfusion were seen with subtotal type hysterectomy, so in case of nonbleeding lower uterine segment, subtotal type should be performed first.

Ambulatory gynecological surgery enables fast recovery of vital functions, ambulation and a relational life of quality. Patients whose disease is well-controlled at the anesthesia consultation can benefit from ambulatory procedures. Improved material and surgical practices broaden potential indications, limiting the risk of postoperative pain which can be controlled with simple analgesic protocols. The choice of the anesthesic techniques or the agents used during the intervention ensures fast recovery of higher functions. Nausea and vomiting, which may develop after returning home and compromise oral drug intake, must be prevented. More ambulatory gynecological procedures can be expected in the near future, pointing out the importance of developing more adapted medical structures.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the burden of tubal pregnancy in Maryland in hospitalized patients and to elicit treatment trends. STUDY DESIGN: Patients who were admitted with tubal pregnancy from January 1, 1994, through March 31, 1999, were identified with the use of the Maryland Health Service Cost Review Commission discharge database. Combining this with census data, we calculated the incidence. Cases were then stratified by demographics, presentation, and surgeon volume. Outcome measures included type of medical treatment,conservative (salpingostomy or salpingotomy) or extirpative operation (salpingectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, oophorectomy, hysterectomy), length of stay, charges, and disposition. The treatment groups were compared with the use of t tests and linear regression, and associations between demographics and type of operation were analyzed with logistic regression. RESULTS: The database included 3729 cases, which yielded an annual incidence of 5.2 per 10,000 women aged 15 to 45 years. Subjects averaged 29.6 years old and were predominantly African American(52.6%) and white (43.3%). Most of the women (67.8%) were seen in the emergency department and were treated surgically (90.7%). Conservative operation was performed in 18.1% of the women; extirpative operation was performed in 81.9% of the women. Significant predictors for extirpative operation were emergency department admission (odds ratio, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.18-1.75), increasing age (odds ratio, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.06-1.09), African American race (odds ratio, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.51-2.31), higher surgeon volume (odds ratio, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.04-1.57), and market area. Length of stay and total charges were higher for the extirpative group(P <.0001). The study lacked the power to detect differences in outcomes for other nonwhite races (5% power), laparoscopy versus laparotomy (15% power), or operating room charges (14% power). CONCLUSION: These data are limited to hospitalized patients and probably underestimate the true incidence of tubal pregnancy. Most patients underwent extirpative operation. Acuity of presentation and increasing age were appropriate predictors of this group. However, physician volume and black race were also predictors. This may be due to differences in the prevalence of disease, unmeasured clinical factors, patient and physician preferences for treatment, barriers that delayed care, or other socioeconomic factors.
