REFUSAL TO UNDERGO A CESAREAN SECTION: A WOMAN'S RIGHT OR A CRIMINAL ACT? Monica K. Millert INTRODUCTION In March, 2004, Melissa Ann Rowland, a twenty-eight-year-old woman from Salt Lake City, gained national media attention when she was arrested on charges of homicide relating to the death of her son. Although there are many child homicide cases that occur regularly across the country that do not attract wide-spread media attention, this case was exceptional because her son died before he was ever born. 1 Rowland had sought medical treatment several times between late December 2003 and January 9, 2004. Each time, she was allegedly advised to get immediate medical treatment, including a cesarean sec- tion (c-section), because her twin fetuses were in danger of death or serious injury.

This becomes an option when it is predicted that the fetus will not live long enough to survive delivery or after birth. Therefore, surgical intervention during pregnancy on the fetus is meant to correct problems that would be too advanced to correct after birth. Policy/Criteria I. It is the policy of Pennsylvania Health and Wellness® (PHW) that in-utero fetal surgery (IUFS) is medically necessary for any of the following: A. Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) associated with fetal hydrops related to high output heart failure : SCT resecton: B. Lower urinary tract obstruction without multiple fetal abnormalities or chromosomal abnormalities: urinary decompression via vesico-amniotic shunting C. Ccongenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) and extralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration with hydrops (hydrops fetalis): resection of malformed pulmonary tissue, or placement of a thoraco-amniotic shunt; D. Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS): treatment approach is dependent on Quintero stage, maternal signs and symptoms, gestational age and the availability of requisite technical expertise and include either: 1. Amnioreduction; or 2. Fetoscopic laser ablation, with or without amnioreduction when member is between 16 and 26 weeks gestation; E. Twin-reversed-arterial-perfusion (TRAP): ablation of anastomotic vessels of the acardiac twin (laser, radiofrequency ablation); F.

Abstract: Gender related genitourinary surgeries are vitally important in the management of gender dysphoria. Vaginoplasty, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty and their associated surgeries help patients achieve their main goal of aligning their body and mind. These surgeries warrant careful adherence to reconstructive surgical principles as many patients can require corrective surgeries from complications that arise. Peri- operative assessment, the surgical techniques employed for vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, and their associated procedures are described. The general reconstructive principles for managing complications including urethroplasty to correct urethral bulging, vaginl stenosis, clitoroplasty and labiaplasty after primary vaginoplasty, and urethroplasty for strictures and fistulas, neophallus and neoscrotal reconstruction after phalloplasty are outlined as well.
