Iseng2 ngebrowsing abis jam kantor saya nemu artikel hasil penelitian ttg berapa lama sebaiknya melahirkan lagi stlh operasi cesar (krn saya juga lagi menunggu kelahiran anak kedua stlh yg pertama lewat cesar). Semoga berguna. -dian- Washington, DC -- -- Women who space their pregnancies close together increase their risk of uterine rupture if they attempt a trial of labor following a prior cesarean delivery, says a study in the February issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology (http://www.acog.com/from_home/publications/green_journal/wrapper.cfm?document=2001/ong12392fla.htm). The most serious complication of a trial of labor following a prior cesarean delivery is the risk (approximately one percent) of uterine rupture. Researchers analyzed data on 2,409 women admitted between 1984 and 1996 to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston for a trial of labor after a prior cesarean. They found that if a woman had an interval of only 18 months or less between her two deliveries (9 months or less between pregnancies), she had a threefold increased risk of uterine rupture compared to women with longer intervals between deliveries. One possible explanation is that uterine rupture may occur during labor due to incomplete healing of the prior surgical site. Other studies have found that at least 6 and possibly 9 months are required for complete restoration of the uterus following a cesarean incision. The authors note that further study is required to understand how the uterus heals following a cesarean -- and thus how it may be at risk for rupture in future deliveries. Contact: Thomas D.
