HISTORY OF INSTITUTE OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY

Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology was the first allopathic maternity hospital in British India to address women's reproductive health. There is perhaps no other acreage in Egmore that is as filled with hope as this hospital. The Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (IOG) and Government Hospital for Women and Children, fondly called MH (maternity hospital) by generations of doctors, nurses, students and allied staff is a tertiary healthcare centre. Age (189-years old) has not defeated its ranks and it has gone above and beyond doing what it was first founded for in 1844 – delivering babies.

It was established on the banks of the Cooum near the Egmore Railway Station under the superintendentship of stalwarts such as Drs WS Thompson and James Shaw — who instituted a professorship in midwifery at the Madras Medical College — but moved to its present location on Pantheon Road in the 1880s because of the annual flooding of the river.

Laid out in the shape of a female pelvis, the new structure came up on Pantheon Road, under the guidance of Major General G.G. Gifford, who is commemorated with a block in his name on the campus. The new hospital was completed in 1881 in Egmore and by 1900 had expanded to five blocks with a total of 140 beds. IOG has conducted so many difficult deliveries. the imprisoned former-Queen of Burma – Supayalat – gave birth in IOG after a long and Excruciating labour. IOG hospital has delivered the exiled queen, Supayalat, of Burma in the late 1800s and also actors such as Vijay.

The Gifford School named after Major General Gifford, a former superintendent of the hospital still remains untouched which was setup in 1911. It has the most fascinating specimens and ancient obstetrics instruments.

The hospital was to be headed by several noted medical practitioners. IOG hosted the first All-India Obstetrics and Gynaecological Congress in 1936. The venue was the Museum Theatre and inaugurating it was Dr.Ida Scudder of CMC Vellore, with Dr. Sir A. Lakshmanaswami Mudaliar in the chair. He was also the first Indian to be the Superintendent of IOG, occupying the post between 1939 and 1942.

When it was constructed, the buildings resembled the shape of women's pelvis and sacrum. But over the years, portions were demolished to make way for multi-rise buildings that could accommodate more patients. Dr. AL Mudhaliar, was the first Indian to head the hospital in the years before the second world war. Earlier, the red brick wings had large high sealing rooms, broad verandahs that lead to a statue of a mother and child. Today, much of that has been replaced by waiting area and AL Mudhaliar block. Now IOG has 1075 beds with 95%-100% occupancy and now has separate building for Obstetrics and Gynaecology. AL Mudaliar block is for obstetrics

New building is opened from July 2022 exclusively for Gynaecology and Fertility OPD. VIA, VILI and Colposcopy facilities are available at gynaec OPD. Has separate Operation theatres for Gynaecologic surgeries including laproscopic and endoscopic surgeries in that new building. Pre-operative and Post-operative gynaecology wards is there in the same building.

Standing proudly, IOG Egmore has departments Surgical Oncology, Medical Oncology, Radiotherapy, family planning, assisted reproductive techniques, Endocrinology apart from conducting cities most high risk deliveries.

IOG, Egmore to get 1st Public Fertility treatment centre with IVF facilities. To the relief of thousands of poor patients who otherwise cannot afford infertility treatment in private hospitals, the State government on 28th April 2023 announced that it will establish infertility clinics that offer in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment at the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Egmore at a cost of Rs 2.5 crores. 2nd floor of the Gynaec-Surgical block is completely dedicated to fertility clinic. As of Now Ovulation induction and IUI is being done at FRC OPD. SSG, HSG, DHL, septal resection and other necessary treatments available are being given to the patients.

The hospital became a teaching centre with postgraduate and diploma courses in 1930 under the Madras Medical College. In 1952, it became one of three postgraduate institutes of Madras city, and that marked the beginning of the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Maternity Hospital. Dr. R.K.K. Thampan was the first Director.

This Institute has intake of 55 post-graduates/year. This hospital is recognised as a centre of excellence, conducts around 15,000 – 20,000 deliveries annually. Most of them being high risk cases.

RETROPERITONEAL TERATOMA IN PREGNANT WOMEN-RARE PRESENTATION – SUCCESSFUL FETOMATERNAL OUTCOME

Retroperitoneal tumours originating from retroperitoneum without originating from major organs are rare. 70-80% of the primary retro-peritoneal tumours are malignant. Most common malignant tumours in this region are sarcomas. Most common benign lesion is lipoma and fibromas.

  • CASE REPORT:26 years old G2P1L1, 15weeks 5 days gestational age came to OPD with incidental finding of dermoid cyst. Routine antenatal screening and MRI showed mass of size 29x17x11.8cms well defined abdominopelvic lesion with cystic and solid areas – probably dermoid cyst. Tumour markers were within normal limits.
  • MANAGEMENT:Elective Laprotomy done at 17weeks of Gestation. Large mass 20x10cms displacing left ureter and kidney posteriorly, not infiltrating any vital organs. Mass resected and sent for biopsy – HPE revealed benign mature teratoma showing long bones with marrow material – possibility of fetiform teratoma. Patient came for routine antenatal checkups. Delivered by labour natural at term with no intra-partum and post-partum complications. USG done after 6 months – no significant abnormality.

11 CASE 11: ENDOMETRIAL STROMAL CELL CARCINOMA
+
ENDOMETRIAL STROMAL CELL CARCINOMA
Incidence:
Rare malignancy constituting 0.2% of uterine cancers
Annual incidence: 1–2 per million population
Clinical Presentation:
46-year-old nulligravida with:
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding for 5 months with passage of clots
  • Lower abdominal pain for 4 months
Per Vaginal Examination:
  • Mass felt: firm and globular
  • Cervix high up, uterus uniformly enlarged, immobile and nontender
  • No forniceal tenderness
Investigations:
  • Baseline investigations: Normal
  • Ultrasound:
    • Uterus with hypoechoic area suggestive of fibroid (6.5 × 6.2 cm, lateral wall)
    • Right ovary: 3.5 × 5.1 cm with 2 × 2 cm cyst
    • Left ovary: Multiloculated cyst measuring 5.2 × 5.1 cm
  • Pipelle biopsy: Endometrium in proliferative phase
Management:
  • Planned for Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy (TAH + BSO)
  • Post-operative HPE: Endometrial stromal cell carcinoma
Discussion:
Endometrial stromal sarcomas are rare malignant uterine tumors. Literature is limited to small series or case reports. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging, often discovered post-hysterectomy performed for presumed benign conditions like fibroids.
  • Imaging modalities (Ultrasound, MRI) and endometrial sampling can provide diagnostic clues
  • Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy remains the cornerstone of treatment
  • Early detection offers potential for complete cure
Conclusion:
This case highlights an unexpected diagnosis of malignant uterine tumor mimicking leiomyoma clinically and radiologically. Histopathological examination remains the gold standard for diagnosing uterine sarcomas.
