Abstract

Techniques for cesarean delivery, reliable anesthesia, blood products and antibiotics has led to the expansion of indications for cesarean birth. Nowadays, to be comfortable in anesthesia, medicine and materials used in, severe sterilization techniques, advances in surgery and postoperative care were reduced mortality and morbidity. However; caesarean section still include infection, bleeding, need for transfusion, thromboembolic risks of a longer stay in the hospital, later to be healing, but rather risks, such as the withdrawal of the pain continues. Postpartum hemorrhage inside the remaining placentas compared to normal primary complaint is that too much. At the same time ultrasonographic examination of the uterine involution does not occur, the uterus larger than normally. The aim of this case report, and the absence of postoperative bleeding, complete involution of the uterus that have not been diagnosed, and threatened her life was to present a case which is characterized by abdominal abscess.

A life-threatening abdominal abscess secondary to forgotten placental tissue during cesarean section: A case report

Abstract

Sezaryen tekniğindeki gelişmeler, güvenilir anestezi uygulamaları, kan ürünleri ve anbiyotikler sezaryen ile doğum endikasyonlarının genişlemesine sebep olmuştur. Günümüzde anestezinin konforlu olması, kullanılan ilaç ve malzemeler, ciddi sterilizasyon teknikleri, cerrahi ve postoperatif bakımdaki gelişmeler sezaryenlere bağlı mortalite ve morbiditeyi azaltmış olmakla birlikte halen enfeksiyon, kanama, transfüzyon ihtiyacı, tromboembolik riskler, hastanede daha uzun kalma, iyileşmenin daha geç olması, daha çok ağrı çekilmesi gibi riskler devam etmektedir. Doğum sonrası içerde kalan plasentalarda öncelikli şikayet normale göre kanamanın çok fazla olmasıdır. Ultrasonografik muayenede uterusun involüsyonundaki gecikmeye bağlı olarak uterus normalden büyüktür. Bu olgu sunumunda postoperatif dönemde kanama olmaması ve uterusun involusyonunun tamamlanması nedeniyle tanı konamayan ve hayatı tehdid eden abdominal abse ile prezente olan bir olguyu sunmayı amaçladık.
