Previous efforts have been exerted in trials to predict the success rates of TOLAC according to specific parameters related to previous cesarean section and before TOLAC. We aimed to investigate the different indications of previous cesarean delivery as independent predictors for successful vaginal birth. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in Armed Forces Hospitals of the Southern Region between December 15, 2019, and July 1, 2020. The included 566 patients with previous cesarean section who were willing to undergo a trial of labor were divided into two groups according to the success of vaginal birth (VBAC). Results: The nonrecurring indications for previous cesarean delivery were higher in the successful group (fetal distress 54.7% vs 41.1%, malpresentation 26% vs 21.4%, multifetal pregnancy 3.8% vs 2.7%). Additionally, the successful VBAC group had a significantly higher percentage of previous successful VBAC (47.7% vs 21.9%) and prior vaginal deliveries (58.5% vs 44.2%) and less coincidence of medical disorders and meconium-stained liquor (18.1% vs 26.3% and 3.2% vs 8.2%, respectively) than the unsuccessful group. Conclusion: During counseling regarding trial of labor after cesarean section, indications for previous cesarean section not related to arrest of labor can predict higher success of VBAC. Moreover, previous successful vaginal delivery or VBAC improves the success rates.展开更多

Guidelines for Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) indicate that TOLAC offers women with no contraindications and one previous transverse low-segment cesarean. The objective of the current study was to study the outcome of trial of labour after caesarean section (TOLAC), the indications for emergency repeat cesarean section and to determine the maternal and fetal prognosis in vaginal birth after caesarian section (VBAC) at Tshikaji Mission Hospital. Patients, Material and Methods: This is a retrospective study of the records of 126 women were selected to undergo the TOLAC in the department of gynecology and obstetrics at the Tshikaji Mission Hospital over the period from January 1<sup>st</sup> to December 31<sup>st</sup>, 2021. The data on demography, antenatal care, labour and delivery and outcomes were collected from the maternity unit of this hospital. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 2.0. Results: The TOLAC in 126 studied women. The course of work allowed vaginal delivery 107 parturient women, a success rate of successful VBAC of 85% after the TOLAC. The repeat emergency cesarean section was necessary for delivery in 15% of cases for failed TOLAC. There was no maternal mortality, but we recorded one fetal death or 0.8% of perinatal mortality, 2 cases of cicatricial dehiscence, the incidence of 1.6%. Maternal morbidity after delivery on cicatricial uterus was dominated by postpartum hemorrhages, with 19 cases or 15.1% of cases. Cervical dilatation of more than 3 cm at the time of admission, the parity more than 3 and were the significant factors in favor of a successful VBAC. Birth weight of more than 3500 g, fetal distress and malpresentation were associated with a lower success rate of VBAC. The TOLAC in selected cases has great importance in the present era of the rising rate of primary CS especially in rural areas. Conclusion: Pregnancy on a cicatricial uterus represents a high-risk pregnancy. Trial of VBAC in selected cases has great importance in the present era of the rising rate of primary CS especially in rural areas. There is a significantly high vaginal birth after caesarian section (VBAC) success rate among selected women undergoing trial of scar in Tshikaji Hospital. TOLAC remains the option for childbirth in low resource settings as Kasai region in DRC. Adequate patient education and counselling in addition to appropriate patient selection for TOLAC remain the cornerstone to achieving high VBAC success rate.展开更多

The subjects were divided into the ERAS program group and the conventional control group. The clinical characteristics, recovery variables, and complications of patients were analyzed.RESULTS: The time to first ambulation, oral food intake, and time to defecation were significantly shorter in the ERAS group(n = 30), compared to the conventional group(n = 31; P = 0.04, 0.003, and 0.01, respectively). The postoperative hospital stay was less in the ERAS group(6.8 ± 1.1 d) compared to the conventional group(7.7 ± 1.1 d)(P = 0.002). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the ERAS(1/30) and conventional care groups(2/31)(P = 1.00). There were no readmissions or mortality during the 30-d follow-up period.CONCLUSION: The ERAS program is associated with a shorter hospital stay in gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. The ERAS protocol is useful in the treatment of gastric cancer.展开更多

Studies selected for the meta-analysis met all of the following inclusion criteria:(1) evaluation of ERAS in comparison to traditional care in adult patients undergoing elective open or laparoscopic liver surgery;(2) outcome measures including complications,recovery of bowel function,and hospital length of stay; and(3) RCTs. The following exclusion criteria were applied:(1) the study was not an RCT;(2) the study did not compare ERAS with traditional care;(3) the study reported on emergency,non-elective or transplantation surgery; and(4) the study consisted of unpublished studies with only the abstract presented at a national or international meeting. The primary outcomes were complications. Secondary outcomes were length of hospital stay and time to first flatus.RESULTS:Five RCTs containing 723 patients were included in the meta-analysis. In 10/723 cases,patients presented with benign diseases,while the remaining 713 cases had liver cancer. Of the five studies,three were published in English and two were published in Chinese. Three hundred and fifty-four patients were in the ERAS group,while 369 patients were in the traditional care group. Compared with traditional care,ERAS programs were associated with significantly decreased overall complications(RR = 0.66; 95%CI:0.49-0.88; P = 0.005),grade?Ⅰ?complications(RR = 0.51; 95%CI:0.33-0.79; P = 0.003),and hospitallength of stay [WMD =-2.77 d,95%CI:-3.87-(-1.66); P < 0.00001]. Similarly,ERAS programs were associated with decreased time to first flatus [WMD =-19.69 h,95%CI:-34.63-(-4.74); P < 0.0001]. There was no statistically significant difference in grade Ⅱ-Ⅴ complications between the two groups.CONCLUSION:ERAS is a safe and effective program in liver surgery. Future studies should define the active elements to optimize postoperative outcomes for liver surgery.展开更多
