Management of Pregnancy in
the Presence of Uterine Scar
Presented by - Parul katiyar
431 A
Introduction
A uterine scar is a mark or injury to the uterine wall that occurs
as a result of a previous surgery or trauma. Uterine scars can
affect the outcome of a pregnancy, and it's essential to manage
them properly to minimize risks to both the mother and the
baby.
Types of Uterine Scars
Types of Uterine Scars:
There are several types of uterine scars, including those resulting from previous
cesarean delivery, myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroids), and uterine rupture.
Cesarean delivery scars are the most common type of uterine scar, and they occur
when a woman has had a previous cesarean section. Myomectomy scars occur
when a woman has had a surgery to remove uterine fibroids, and uterine rupture
scars occur when the uterus tears during labor or delivery.
Potential Risks and Complications:
Uterine scars can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy and
delivery, including:
Uterine rupture: The most significant risk associated with uterine scars is
uterine rupture, which occurs when the uterine wall tears or separates during labor
or delivery. Uterine rupture can be life-threatening for both the mother and the
baby and may result in significant bleeding, loss of the uterus, or even death.
Placenta previa: Women with uterine scars are at higher risk of developing
placenta previa, a condition where the placenta implants low in the uterus and
blocks the cervix. Placenta previa can cause bleeding and may require a cesarean
delivery.
Placental abruption: Women with uterine scars are also at higher risk of
placental abruption, where the placenta separates from the uterine wall before
delivery, causing bleeding and potentially compromising the baby's oxygen supply.
Preterm labor: Women with uterine scars may also be at higher
risk of preterm labor, where labor begins before 37 weeks of
gestation. Preterm labor can lead to complications for both the
mother and the baby, including respiratory distress syndrome, brain
injury, and developmental delays.
Mode of delivery
The mode of delivery will depend on the type and location of the
scar, as well as the woman's medical history and previous
obstetric outcomes. In some cases, vaginal delivery may be
possible, but in other cases, a repeat cesarean delivery may be
necessary to reduce the risk of uterine rupture.
Timing of delivery
The timing of delivery will depend on various factors, such as
the type of scar, the woman's medical history, and the baby's
health status. In some cases, early delivery may be necessary to
reduce the risk of complications, such as preterm labor or fetal
distress.
Medical interventions
Women with a history of uterine scar may require medical
interventions, such as cervical cerclage (a procedure to stitch the
cervix closed) or progesterone supplementation, to reduce the risk
of preterm labor or cervical incompetence.
Monitoring for complications
Women with a history of uterine scar are at increased risk of
complications, such as uterine rupture, placenta previa, and
placental abruption. Therefore, close monitoring for these and
other complications is essential throughout pregnancy and
delivery.
