Introduction: Perinatal mortality linked to fetal anemia of red cell alloimmunization in Côte d’Ivoire as in many developing countries can be explained by a lack of knowledge of Rhesus D feto-maternal alloimmunization, hence the obvious importance of carrying out a study on the problem of prevention of alloimmunization in rhesus negative births. This study takes stock of the management of this pathology in a reference hospital. Results and Discussion: Rh-negative mothers account for 6% of births, 42.7% (70/164) of women had a history of risk, about 61% of women had not had proper prophylaxis during previous pregnancies; and as many had not had follow-up of the coombs test during the current pregnancy; only 4.9% of patients had systematic prophylaxis with anti D serum at 28 weeks of pregnancy. This low rate of prevention is related to the financial difficulties of the patients, but also to a lack of knowledge of the pathology by the nursing staff. Conclusion: Good management of rhesus negative women during their pregnancy allows their incompatible child to benefit from all current treatments ensuring a healthy birth. It is therefore important for medical personnel to know how to deal with this rare disease in a small proportion of pregnant women.

Introduction: Surgery can cause anxiety and worry, such as waking up in pain, being physically harmed or dying. This study aimed to assess the experience of patients undergoing planned gynaecological surgery in the Obstetrics Gynaecology and Reproductive Medicine department of the University Hospital Centre of Bogodogo. Patients and methods: This was a cross-sectional study with prospective data collection during the period from June 1 to August 31, 2018. The study population consisted of patients who received scheduled gynaecological surgery during the period. Results: Seventy-six (76) patients underwent scheduled surgery and 62 were included. During discussion with the gynaecologist, 58 patients (93.55%) were satisfied. When the surgery was announced, 41 patients (66.13%) were anxious. At the consultation with the anaesthetist 59 patients (95.16%) were satisfied with the discussions. Fifty-five patients (88.7%) were anxious on admission to the operating theatre. The quality of care was satisfactory for 61 patients (98.39%) and all patients were satisfied with the care team. Conclusion: Periodic evaluation of patients’ experiences should therefore be incorporated into care evaluation policies in health facilities in order to contribute to continuous improvement in the quality of medical and surgical care.

Objective: To study the epidemiology, the diagnostic elements and the prognosis after laparotomy surgery, of complicated upper genital infections. Patients and method: This is a retrospective study of six cases of complicated upper genital infections collected over a period of 20 months in the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of the Aristide Hospital Center of LEDANTEC. Results: The average age of the patients was 37.67, in two patients; a hysterosalpingography had been performed less than seven days before the start of the symptoms, a notion of multiple sexual partners was noted in two patients. All patients presented with acute abdominal-pelvic pain associated with vomiting in three patients. An infectious syndrome was found in two patients, adnexal pain caused in four patients and signs of peritoneal irritation (guarding and umbilical tenderness) in three patients. Para-clinically, a biological inflammatory syndrome was found in all patients, including an elevation of C-reactive protein in all patients and hyperleukocytosis in four patients and an elevation of CA 125 in two patients. The cytobacteriological examination of the pus taken intraoperatively was positive in two patients, the isolated germs were Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter cloacae. Pelvic ultrasound was performed in all patients and revealed a cystic adnexal mass in five cases, a pyosalpinx and peritoneal effusion in two cases. Abdominal & pelvic computed tomography was performed in four patients and revealed a lateral-uterine adnexal mass in two cases, pyosalpinx in two cases, uretero-hydronephrosis and peritoneal effusion in one case. An exploratory laparotomy was performed in each patient and confirmed the diagnosis of tuboovarian abscess, the presence of pelvic adhesion and purulent effusion in four patients, the presence of false membranes in two patients, pyometra and isolated bilateral pyosaplinx were found in one patient. Radical surgical treatment was associated with double probabilistic antibiotic therapy and symptomatic treatment in all patients. The postoperative course was favorable in most cases; postoperative pneumopathy was noted and resolved under treatment.

Introduction: Despite the many efforts made to combat preventable maternal deaths, these still remain high in Benin. It was therefore important to revisit the causes but especially the adverse events associated with care (EIS) in maternity. Objective: Determine the incidence, adverse events associated with care and causes of intra hospital maternal mortality in cotonou. Methods: This was a cross-sectional maternal mortality review study with retrospective data collection. It covered all cases of maternal death recorded between 2017 and 2021 in two (2) reference university maternities in Cotonou. Adverse events associated with care and the patient were analyzed using the maternal death audit grid validated for Benin. SPSS.26 software was used for data analysis. Results: The in-hospital maternal mortality ratio in Cotonou was 2028 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2021. Only 7.2% (n = 36) of deaths were audited. The deceased mothers were 29.8 ± 7.4 years old, with no fixed monthly income in 82.7% (n = 420). Serious adverse events associated with care were: delay in decision to refer in 37% (n = 188), non-medical referral in 85.8% (n = 436) of cases, inadequate pre-referral treatment in 25.7% of cases. In receiving maternities, delay in diagnosis and inappropriate treatment at the receiving maternity were noted respectively in 22.9% and 28.6% of cases of maternal death. The direct causes of maternal death were dominated by serious obstetric hemorrhage in 43.9% (n = 223). As for the indirect causes, they were dominated by anemia excluding obstetric hemorrhages in 21.5% (n = 109). Conclusion: The in-hospital maternal mortality ratio was very high in Cotonou. The main cause was severe obstetric hemorrhage. There were several serious healthcare-associated adverse events whose correct management would significantly reduce the incidence of maternal deaths.

Introduction: Maternal mortality is a public health problem. It is common in hospitals in Togo. From 401 per 100,000 live births in 2013, in 2017 we are 396 per 100,000 live births. Despite several programs ranging from subsidized caesarean section (CARMA) yezou (assistance for pregnant women), the establishment of maternal death reviews in maternity wards to compensate for avoidable causes; we are seeing preventable maternal and fetal deaths in our hospitals. No study on these reviews has been done since its establishment. The objective of our study was to determine the frequency of reviews of maternal deaths, the epidemiological, sociodemographic aspects and the causes of these reviewed maternal deaths. Method: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional, multicenter study lasting four and a half years, from the 1st of January 2018 to the 30th of June 2022, relating to the review of maternal deaths in three reference hospitals of two health regions of south Togo. Any maternal death occurring in one of these hospitals during the study period was included in this survey. The data collected using a collection sheet were analyzed using Epi Info version 7 software. Results: During the study period, the maternal mortality ratio in the three hospitals was 722.3 per 100,000 live births. Only 12.2% of maternal deaths were reviewed in the three hospitals. The patients were young with an average age of 29.9 years, housewives (71%), uneducated (21.7%). The causes of maternal deaths were dominated by direct obstetric causes (89.7%). The main cause was hemorrhage (72.5%), the main cause being immediate postpartum hemorrhage (50.7%). Conclusion: This study shows that the maternal mortality ratio still remains high in our country with a low frequency of maternal death reviews. Young, poor, uneducated women are the most affected by these deaths, the main cause of which remains hemorrhage. Preventive measures deserve to be taken at all levels with a view to reducing maternal mortality.
产妇死亡率是一个公共卫生问题。这在多哥的医院很常见。从2013年的每10万例活产401例，到2017年是每10万例活产396例。尽管有一些方案，包括补贴剖腹产(CARMA) yezou(孕妇援助)，在产科病房建立产妇死亡审查，以补偿可避免的原因;我们在医院看到了可预防的孕产妇和胎儿死亡。自成立以来，没有对这些审查进行过研究。我们研究的目的是确定对产妇死亡进行审查的频率、流行病学、社会人口学方面以及这些审查的产妇死亡的原因。方法:这是一项为期四年半的描述性和横断面多中心研究，从2018年1月1日到2022年6月30日，涉及多哥南部两个卫生区域的三家参考医院的孕产妇死亡情况。在研究期间，在这些医院之一发生的任何孕产妇死亡都包括在本次调查中。使用收集表收集的数据使用Epi Info version 7软件进行分析。结果:在研究期间，三家医院的产妇死亡率为每10万活产722.3例。在这三家医院中，只有12.2%的产妇死亡得到审查。患者以年龄小(平均29.9岁)、家庭主妇(71%)、文化程度低(21.7%)为主。产妇死亡的主要原因是直接产科原因(89.7%)。以出血为主(72.5%)，产后立即出血为主(50.7%)。结论:本研究表明，我国孕产妇死亡率仍然较高，孕产妇死亡复核频率较低。年轻、贫穷、未受教育的妇女受这些死亡的影响最大，其主要原因仍然是出血。应在各级采取预防措施，以降低产妇死亡率。

Background: Anemia is mainly attributed to nutritional deficiency, especially iron deficiency, which predominates during pregnancy, and is associated with parasitic diseases such as malaria and intestinal parasitosis, acute or chronic diseases such as sickle cell disease, tuberculosis, HIV infection and various micronutrients disorders. It is associated with an increased risk of low birth weight and prematurity and can contribute to impaired cognitive development in early childhood, as well as to maternal mortality. The impact on the fetus is even greater if maternal anemia onset is at an early stage, or prior to pregnancy. Iron salts, such as sulfate or fumarate, are widely used in the treatment of gravidic anemia, but due to various gastrointestinal side effects, many pregnant women are not compliant with treatment. Sodium iron EDTA, on the other hand, is highly absorbable and bioavailable. The latter improves hematological values and appears to be free from the usual iron-related side effects, hence compliance with this supplementation. Objectives: To evaluate the evolution of hemoglobin levels after sodium iron EDTA supplementation at the university Clinics of Kinshasa, to determine the frequency of gravidic anemia, the dose-dependent benefit of sodium iron EDTA supplementation in pregnant women and to identify factors associated with insufficient hemoglobin gain after supplementation. Methods: This longitudinal cohort will take place in the gynecology department of the University Clinics of Kinshasa from September 2022 to August 2023 and will include at least 54 pregnant women with anemia. Conclusion: The study will enable us to better assess the benefits of sodium iron EDTA in improving hematological values, as well as its tolerability in pregnant women suffering from anemia during pregnancy in our environment.

Introduction: Breast cancer is currently the most common malignant tumour in women worldwide. Objective: To evaluate conservative treatment of breast cancer and oncoplasty at the teaching hospital Mother and Child of Jeanne Ebori Foundation (CHUMEFJE). Patients and methods: This is an observational, descriptive study, which took place from August 2019 to December 2021 at CHUMEFJE. Data were collected using patients’ medical records, and operative and pathological anatomy reports. Results: Conservative treatment and oncoplasty were performed in 12 (34.2%) patients. Of these patients, 8 (66.7%) benefited from an external technique and 2 (16.7%) from a pamectomy. Post-operative complications were dominated by lymphocele in 5 (41.6%) patients. Ten (83.3%) patients were satisfied with the post-operative aesthetic result. At the time of updating the records, 1 (8.3%) patient had died and 11 (91.7%) were alive. Conclusion: Conservative treatment and oncoplasty are giving satisfactory results at the CHUMEFJE in Libreville.

The aim was to assess transfusion needs in the management of immediate postpartum haemorrhage. Materials and Methods: this was a prospective, descriptive, analytical study from 01 January 2018 to 31 October 2018 in the gynecology and obstetrics department of the reference health center of Kalaban-Coro (Mali). Results: During the study period we recorded 32 cases of transfusion of the immediate postpartum out of 109 cases of hemorrhage or 29.35%; for a total of 2425 deliveries or a frequency of 1.31%. The main indications for blood transfusion were: postpartum haemorrhage due to tearing of the soft parts in 21.9%; retroplacental hematoma in 18.6%; uterine rupture in 12.5%; and placenta previa covering hemorrhagic in 12.5%. More than half of the transfused were evacuees, or 62.5%. Unmet transfusion requirements were 59.4%. The blood products requested were: whole blood in 99% of cases and fresh frozen plasma in only 1% of cases. Conclusion: the need for labile blood products remains a reality in obstetrics. The permanent availability of labile blood products improves the prognosis of immediate postpartum haemorrhages.

Introduction: External hemorrhoidal thrombosis is a clinical is the most common postpartum proctologic accident. The aim of this work was to study hemorrhoidal thrombosis in recent mothers, in order to help improve its management. Patients and Methods: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study that was carried out at Saint Camille Hospital in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Data collection was prospective and took place over a period of three months from September 1 to November 30, 2019. The study population consisted of recent births. The interview with the patients and their physical examination enabled the collection of data. Results: During the study period, 384 women were examined and 56 (14.6%) of whom presented with external hemorrhoidal thrombosis. The average age of patients who presented with external hemorrhoidal thrombosis was 29 years ± 5.2. The external hemorrhoidal thrombosis appeared in the form of a painful swelling at the level of the anal margin. In multivariate analysis, dyschezia and personal history of hemorrhoidal disease were risk factors for external hemorrhoidal thrombosis in the postpartum period (OR = 37.4 [6.8 - 205.7]; OR = 23.9 [3.3 - 174.2]. Consumption of fruit and foods rich in dietary fiber were protective factors against the occurrence of this risk (OR = 0.02 [0.002 - 0.3]). Conclusion: External hemorrhoidal thrombosis remains a complication to be taken into account during the monitoring of postpartum women. It is important to encourage pregnant women to consume foods and fruits rich in fiber seem to reduce the risk of its occurrence.
