Abstract
The objective is to report a clinical case of vaginal caesarean performed to save a fetus in distress by retroplacental hematoma. For this indication, the vaginal caesarean can be an alternative to the classic caesarean because of its short duration and the preservation of the possibility of future childbirth by natural means. However, this surgical technique described since the 19th century is still unknown to many practitioners and few publications exist on the subject throughout the world. Considered obsolete by some practitioners, it retains all its advantages in the practice of modern obstetrics. We report this case of fetal rescue performed by vaginal caesarean section at the Reference Health Center of the Sanitary District (District Hospital) of Bla in Mali in a 34-year-old patient, admitted for retroplacental hematoma with live fetal on a non-term pregnancy in latency phase of labor.
