MULTIFETAL PREGNANCY REDUCTION

Year 2013, Volume: 10 Issue: 39, 1619 - 1622, 01.07.2013

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the data with multifetal pregnancy reduction process at Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Research and Education Hospital retrospectively.Materials and Method: From the data of the multiple pregnancies between 1998-2008 Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Education and Research Hospital 2.1 % of 354.227 live births were multiple births. In this era, 187 fetuses underwent fetal reduction. Procedure was accomplished in all patients . Reduction of multiple pregnancies that occur in women age 35 and older accounted for 8 % of cases . Median age was: 27.9 + 6.7 in pregnant women who underwent fetal reduction, if not applied in multiple pregnancies 28.0 + 9.2 p = 0.15 and the difference was not statistically significant. Multiple pregnancy reduction process was performed between 10-24. gestational weeks median 13.2 + 2.1 . Ideally chorionicity and amniocity assessment was carried out from 11 to 14 weeks, before 14 weeks. T sign, lambda sign, the thickness of the intervening membrane of 2mm or more and the gender differences were the basis of the assessment . If the chorionicity could not be assessed, it was regarded as monochorionic. According to these principles, after excluding the monochorionic pregnancies, multifetal pregnancy reduction procedure was carried out.Results Of the 187 pregnant women who underwent multifetal pregnancy reduction uterine contractions were detected in 29 pregnant women. Three women fainted, two patients had myometrial hematom. Amniotic fluid leakage occurred in 3 pregnant women, whereas spotting bleeding, and procedure-related unintended fetal loss occurred in 10 and 8 fetuses, respectively. 10 5.3 % patients had miscarriage between 13 - 24 weeks of gestation. In comparison of the median birthweights, miscarriage and prematurity, there was no significant differences between the fetal reduction groups and those with multiple pregnancies . p> 0.05 .Conclusion:. The practice of transferring multiple embryos, treatments leading to to multiple follicular developmentshould be abonded. Transfer of single fertilized ovum is the unique method to prevent multiple pregnancies and their associated complications.

ÇOĞUL GEBELİKLERİN İNDİRGENMESİ

Year 2013, Volume: 10 Issue: 39, 1619 - 1622, 01.07.2013

Abstract

Amaç: Zekai Tahir Burak Kadın Sağlığı Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesinde çoklu gebelik indirgenmesi işlemi ile ilgili verilerin retrospektif değerlendirilmesidir.Gereçler ve Yöntem: Zekai Tahir Burak Kadın Sağlığı Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi verilerinden 1998-2008 yılları arasında 354,227 canlı doğumda ortalama 2.1% çoğul gebelik belirlendi. 187 çoklu gebelik indirgenmesi uygulandı. Olguların hepsinde işlem gerçekleştirildi. Çoklu gebelik indirgemesi gerçekleşen 35 yaş ve üzeri gebeler, olguların %8’ini oluşturmaktadır. Yaş ortancası: Fetal redüksiyon uygulanan gebelerde 27.9 + 6.7; uygulanmayan çoğul gebeliklerde ise 28.0+ 9.2 p=0.15 ile istatistik anlamlılık arz etmemekte idi. İdeal olarak koryonisite ve amniosite değerlendirmeleri 14 hafta öncesinde gerçekleştirildi;11-14 hafta arası T bulgusu, lambda işareti membran kalınlığının 2mm ya da üzerinde olması cinsiyet farklılığı koryonisite değerlendirmesinde esas alındı. Koryonisite belirlenemediğinde monokoryonik olarak değerlendirildi. Bu prensipler doğrultusunda monokoryonik olmadığı öngörülen hastalarda çoklu gebelikindirgemesi işlemi uygulandıBulgular: 187 fetusa uygulanan çoklu gebelik indirgemesinde: uterus kontraksiyonları 29 gebede saptandı; üç gebe işlem sırasında bayıldı; iki olguda myometrial hematom, üç olguda amnion sızıntısı, 10 gebede damlama şeklinde kanama, ve 8 fetusun amaçlanmamış kaybı işleme bağlı komplikasyonlar olarak kayıtlara geçti. 187 gebeden 10'u 5.3% 13- 24. gebelik haftaları arasında düşük yaptı . Doğum ağırlıklarının çoklu gebelik indirgenmesi uygulanmamış çoğul gebeliklerle karşılaştırılmasında: doğum ağırlığı ortanca değerleri, gebelik kaybı ve prematürite oranları arasında anlamlı farklılık izlenmedi. P>0.05 .Sonuç: Birden çok embryo verilmesi, ya da multifoliküler gelişime yol açan uygulamalar bırakılmalıdır. Tek fertilize ovum transferi ile çoğul gebeliklerin ve bunlara bağlı komplikasyonların önlenebileceği akıldan çıkarılmamalıdır.
