[For and against non-obstetrical indications for cesarean section].

The authors have made a retrospective study on the nonobstetrical indications for SC from 1996-2000 year, with the help of special documents belonging to VMI, Obstetric Clinic, Pleven. There have been 10,465 deliveries in the same period, 1096 with SC (10.47%). The main indications in 56 cases (5.11%) were non-obstetrical complications of pregnancy and delivery. The most frequent non-obstetrical indications were: ophthalmological in 18 (32.14%), orthopedical in 10 (17.86%), cases CNS diseases in 5 (8.93%) and cancer in 3 (5.36%). We have included: Condylomata accuminata--5 (8.93%), acute thrombophlebitis and thromboembolic diseases--5 (8.93%), a condition after plastic repairs of the perineum, virgin and vulvae--3 (5.36%). Special interest was taken on another group of patients with some rare diseases about the other specialist recommended SC. The ovarian age of the patients was 20-29 years--in 36 (64.28%). The SC has been performed in 30 cases (53.57%) in the first stage, in 14 (25.00%) in the second stage of delivery and in 12 (21.43%) cases was emergency. The conclusions of the authors is that the Obstetricians, who manage the delivery, may not always been comparted with that of the other specialist. This comes from the fact that the responsibility is mainly for him.
