Difficult fetal extraction in cesarean section: Number 8 - 2024.
Rev Bras Ginecol Obstet

Article Synopsis
- Difficult fetal extraction during cesarean sections is mainly caused by a deeply impacted fetal head and floating fetus presentation, with limited scientific evidence supporting various management techniques.
- Maternal complications from managing a deeply impacted fetal head include lacerations and hematomas, while neonates may suffer serious issues like hemorrhage, fractures, nerve injuries, and perinatal asphyxia.
- The abdominovaginal delivery method is linked to higher complications, while the internal podalic version followed by pelvic extraction is a distinct approach for floating fetal presentations.
Treatment of lower limb chronic venous disease has progressed exponentially over recent decades. The advances achieved have made it possible to develop a proposal for a systematized intravenous laser ablation technique - assisted total thermal ablation (ATTA). The technique constitutes a standardized method for management of axial or tributary veins that are varicosed or esthetically unappealing, whether in the lower limbs or other areas, that can be performed on an outpatient or day-hospital basis.
