I apologize, but since there is no relevant text provided, I am unable to generate a list of pertinent keywords. However, I can briefly explain what a pathologic retraction ring is:

A pathologic retraction ring, also known as Bandl’s ring or Bandl’s contraction ring, is a constriction that forms in the uterus during prolonged or obstructed labor. It occurs when the lower segment of the uterus becomes overstretched and fails to relax, leading to a persistent ring-shaped contraction. This condition can impede the progress of labor and may necessitate medical intervention, such as a cesarean section, to prevent complications for both the mother and the baby.
