    Abstract We received a call from a transplant coordinator about the availability of a consented deceased donor. En-bloc kidneys with the aorta and IVC (inferior vena cava) were harvested from a toddler weighing 8 kg. The recipient was of early childhood weighing 14 kg who had been on haemodialysis for the last 3 years for end-stage kidney disease. He received anti-thymocyte globulin as an induction immunosuppressant. The kidneys were transplanted en bloc in the right lower quadrant retroperitoneal region; an anastomosis was performed to the recipient's aorta and IVC, and two separate neocystoureterostomies were created. His serum creatinine reached 0.5 mg/dL on the seventh postoperative day, following a few days of delayed graft function. In this study, we describe the surgical and non-surgical challenges that we faced while performing en-bloc kidney transplant to the youngest recipient and how a multidisciplinary team approach helped us overcome them.

    Abstract Objective : In India not much importance is still being given to Medical Audit & Death Audit which requires an in-depth analysis of maternal deaths with reference to the cause of death, ways in which the death could have been prevented and deficiencies in health care facilities. Methods: Audit was conducted by Facility BMDR approach, across the various Municipal Corporation of Delhi Hospitals namely, 980 bedded Hindu Rao Hospital, 450 bedded Kasturba Hospital, 250 bedded Swamy Dayanand Hospital and 97 bedded Girdhari Lal Maternity Hospital. Results: The total deliveries combing all hospitals was 113237 out of which 86859 were normal deliveries, 1572 deliveries were assisted forceps or vacuum deliveries and remaining 23403 patients underwent lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) . The total patients who lost life are 194. Out of 194 maternal deaths highest deaths are found in the age group of 20 to 24 i.e 74(38.1%) and almost similar pattern in the age group between 25 to 29 is 73(37.6%) and, maximum deaths (135-69.6%) were observed amongst women who were pregnant for the first time in their life,. Haemorrhage was the major cause of maternal deaths N=61(31.4%) hypertension N=25(12.9) and septicaemia N=24(24.4). 84(43.3%) cases were unstable at the time of admission. 72 (37.1%) cases haemoglobin percentage in blood was not documented and of the remaining only15(7.7%) had above 11 Hb%. Conclusion: Death Audit can become a continuous evolving process to create awareness in health care facilities regarding their deficiencies and scope for improvements which unfortunately is well below par and requires standardization along with a comprehensive policy.

    Abstract Objectives: To analyse correlation of past history of tuberculosis with present state of infertility with respect to HSG and diagnostic findings, with a view to assess the frequency of genital tuberculosis in infertile women, its clinical presentation and association with infertility.
    Materials and methods: The study is an ongoing study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Kasturba Hospital, Delhi and included 174 infertile women enrolled as OPD patients in our hospital. A detailed history with special emphasis on past history of tuberculosis, thorough clinical examination, all routine investigations for Infertility & special investigations for genital tuberculosis was done. Diagnostic tests and laparoscopy was further performed as per the protocol.
    Results: Female genital tuberculosis has been described as a disease of the younger population. The present study shows that 87.9% patients diagnosed for genital tuberculosis were between 20 and 35 yrs of age. It was observed that amongst 174 infertile patients who attended our OPD, 40 patients had a positive history of present or previous incidence of Koch's, pulmonary or extra pulmonary, namely 22.9% (Group I) and the remaining patient comprising 77.1%, who had no record of any previous tuberculosis (Group II). Active Tuberculosis was seen in 5 patients out of a total of 40 females. Out of the total of 174 infertile patients suffering from tubal disorder 52.5% of Group I patients had evidences of tubal disease as compared to only 27.6% in Group II thus suggesting a strong correlation of tubal destruction and subsequent infertility to a positive history of tuberculosis. Out of the 56 laparoscopies performed, it was seen that 75% of Group I patients with past history of TB had abnormal laparoscopic findings (18 out of 24 patients), as compared to Group II which had only 9 out of 32 patients (28%) showing positive pelvic pathology. This seems to be very significant.
    Conclusion: In conclusion the results of the present study validate arguments in favour of incorporating screening for genital tuberculosis as a part of the baseline investigation for all patients of infertility, in countries like ours and especially in such patients who have suffered from Tuberculosis sometimes earlier in their lives.

    Abstract Acquired vaginal stenosis is a rare obstructing anomaly, which can be caused by use of chemicals in the vagina. A 21-year-old gravida 1 para 1, presented with secondary amenorrhea and inability to have sexual intercourse, after normal spontaneous vaginal delivery complicated by post partum bleeding. The delivery was conducted by untrained traditional birth attendant at home. The wash cloth soaked with caustic soda was packed in the patient's vagina and was left in situ for 10 days, which ultimately led to the severe scarring and stenosis of the vagina. Patient underwent surgical management and the extensive vaginal adhesions were excised and a patent vagina was reconstructed. Patient then reported successful vaginal intercourse without dyspareunia. Post partum vaginal stenosis due to chemical vaginitis is rare. These cases can be prevented by adequate training of untrained health care workers.

    Abstract Background: Preterm birth is the single most important determinant of adverse infant outcome. Tocolytic therapy has shown beneficial effect in certain selected patients. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy, maternal and fetal outcome with the use of Transdermal Glyceryl nitrate patches versus Intravenous Ritodrine tocolytic agents. Methods: Study included 50 patients of gestation 24-34 weeks in preterm labor. Group I: Glyceryl trinitrate patch releasing 10mg/24 hours (0.4mg/ hour) was applied transdermally and repeated after 2 hours if no reduction in contractions was seen. Group II: Intravenous Ritodrine infusion prepared by adding 50mg to a bottle of 5% dextrose or ringer lactate solution and infusion started at an initial rate of 0.05mg/min which was increased by 50 micrograms per minute every 15 min until contractions ceased. Results: 22 patients in group I treated with GTN and 19 patients in group II treated with Ritodrine achieved successful tocolysis. The difference was statistically insignificant (P value - 0.23). Mean Gestational age at delivery was 34.97 in GTN Group as compared to 33.24 weeks in Ritodrine Group

    difference which is statistically significant (P = 0.0004). Very few adverse effects were observed in the GTN Group. Comparatively, the Ritodrine Group had severe adverse effects requiring discontinuation of therapy. Fetal outcome was satisfactory in both groups. Conclusions: The effects of Glyceryl trinitrate and Ritodrine in the treatment of preterm labor were essentially similar. Glyceryl trinitrate is associated with lesser maternal and fetal adverse effects and appears to be a very viable, inexpensive and safer alternative to Ritodrine.

    Abstract Background: Conjoined twinning is a rare congenital anomaly. Even after significant advancement in the health care delivery system in developing countries, adequate antenatal care of pregnant patients and antenatal diagnosis of congenital malformations by radiological techniques like sonogram need to be emphasized.
    Case: A 25-year-old woman (G1P0) at 38 weeks' gestation vaginally delivered stillborn dicephalus male twins with 2 heads, 2 necks, and a common trunk with 2 arms and 2 legs at Kasturba Hospital. The fetuses were in breech presentation and were delivered using assisted breech vaginal delivery. The conjoint nature of the fetuses remained undiagnosed antenatally and was clinically unsuspected during the intrapartum period. It was only confirmed after delivery. The intrapartum and postpartum course was uncomplicated, and the patient was discharged home on postpartum day 2.
    Conclusion: The diagnosis of conjoined twins can be missed without adequate antenatal care, leading to adverse fetomaternal outcome. Antepartum diagnosis of conjoined twins with sonography with or without MRI is essential for optimal obstetric and perinatal management, preoperative surgical planning, and parental counseling. Surgical separation of conjoined twins is possible in select cases and involves a multidisciplinary approach using several specialties.

    Abstract IUD's like Lippes Loop (LL), intended for long term use are retained for years and menopausal ladies often present with LL in situ either deliberately or forgotten. We report a case of Lippes Loop removal inserted 45 years back in a woman complaining of post menopausal bleeding. The inserted LL thread was incidentally discovered during clinical examination and Ultrasonography. We also reviewed literature to determine the evidence for and against removal of an inert IUD.

    Abstract Uterine inversion is a rare but serious obstetrical emergency which usually occurs due to mismanagement of third stage of labour. If the condition is promptly recognized before incarceration, manual repositioning of the uterus may be successful. However in neglected uterine inversion, incarceration may occur due to constriction ring formation, necessitating surgical intervention. We present a case of neglected uterine inversion managed by Haultain`s repair. [Int J Reprod Contracept Obstet Gynecol 2013; 2(3.000): 425-426]
