We conducted a 6-year prospective surgical case series study at a tertiary care centre in South India to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel Paily Vaginal Oophorectomy Clamp and its unique application technique during non-descent vaginal hysterectomy requiring salpingo-oophorectomy. The Paily Vaginal Oophorectomy Clamp's reversed blade design allows direct and secure grasping of the infundibulopelvic ligament as there is no intervening tissue near the joint, reducing the risk of slippage. In contrast, while using conventional clamps such as Heaney's, infundibulopelvic slippage occurs due to the presence of tissue between blades near the joint.

Background: Many resource-constrained centres fail to meet the international standard of 30 min of decision-to-delivery interval (DDI) of Category-1 crash caesarean deliveries. However, specific scenarios like acute foetal bradycardia and antepartum haemorrhage necessitate even faster interventions.

Methods: A multidisciplinary team developed a "CODE-10 Crash Caesarean" rapid response protocol to limit DDI to 15 min.

Objective: Surgical management of Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is associated with profuse bleeding and increased risk of operative injury to the adherent pelvic structures. We propose using a novel aorta clamp that can occlude the abdominal aorta without retroperitoneal dissection, thereby making it easy for an obstetrician-gynecologist to use it. The novel Paily aorta clamp (PAC) is applied just above the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta.
