The Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Yenepoya Medical College has successfully managed a remarkable obstetric case highlighting clinical expertise and multidisciplinary teamwork.
A 25 year-old, G2P1L1 at 38 weeks + 3 days of gestation with a history of previous LSCS was admitted under OBG Unit III. Considering the obstetric history, the patient underwent an elective Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) on 27/2/26.
The procedure resulted in the safe delivery of a healthy female neonate weighing 5.1 kg, an instance of extreme fetal macrosomia, which is a rare occurrence – particularly in a non-diabetic antenatal mother.
The surgery was successfully conducted by the team comprising Dr. Sadiq Unnisa A (Unit Chief), Dr. Reshma Ann Mathew, Dr. Akhila L P, and Dr. Denia Mary Eldho, with valuable support from postgraduate residents Dr. Jasina and Dr. Vishnupriya. The Anaesthesia team, including Dr. Alif Shah P and Dr. Aejaz Ahamed Z, along with the Pediatrics team, played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of both mother and newborn.
The successful management of this rare and challenging obstetric event underscores the high level of clinical expertise, preparedness, and coordinated multidisciplinary care at Yenepoya Medical College. This achievement reflects the department’s continued commitment to providing advanced maternal and neonatal care while successfully managing high-risk and uncommon clinical scenarios.
