Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Maternal Health

Background:

  • Caesarean section (CS) is a common obstetric procedure with increasing rates globally.
  • Despite its frequency, CS carries risks of short- and long-term complications.
  • Relaparotomy following CS is a rare but severe complication with a high fatality rate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the indications, management strategies, risk factors, and outcomes of relaparotomy after caesarean section.
  • To identify opportunities for improving care and preventing this complication.
  • To reduce maternal mortality and morbidity associated with post-CS relaparotomy.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional, observational study conducted at a tertiary referral hospital (RMCH).
  • Inclusion of consecutive patients requiring relaparotomy within six weeks of CS between January 2015 and December 2015.
  • Data collected on obstetric patients, CS rates, and relaparotomy cases, including indications and surgical interventions.

Main Results:

  • Relaparotomy was needed in 0.18% of CS cases and 0.39% of all obstetric admissions.
  • Common indications included secondary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), haemoperitoneum, and pyoperitoneum.
  • High case fatality rate of 18% was observed, with many cases deemed preventable.

Conclusions:

  • Relaparotomy after caesarean section is associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality.
  • Preventable factors contribute to the high fatality rate, highlighting the need for improved surgical care.
  • Early identification of risk factors, prompt intervention, and expert management are crucial for better outcomes.
