TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Genital burns and vaginal delivery JO - International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics A1 - Pant, R. A1 - Manandhar, V. A1 - Wittgenstein, F. A1 - Fortney, J. A.

Women in developing countries typically squat around cooking fires, and burns are common. This recent case in Nepal describes obstructed labor in a young woman whose genital area had extensive scarring from a cooking fire injury. Proper antenatal assessment by health care providers can reduce the risk to mothers and infants of the consequences of a birth canal damaged or obstructed by burn scarring.
